LEARNING OBJECTS/PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES
Module 7 covers the different social inclusion measures to facilitate the full integration of migrants in the host society, as well as the specific factors that affect the gender factor.
Duration: 45 minutes
Objectives:
- Identify key factors to be taken into account for the social inclusion of women.
- Know the services that facilitate social inclusion at local level.
- Identify needs and improvements in inclusion services for migrant women.
In order to reinforce the knowledge, we propose the following activities:
Activity 1: Social inclusion services for migrant women:
You are a social worker in an organization that provides services to migrants, and you are approached by a 22-year-old woman from Syria who has just arrived in your city, does not know the language, does not have her status regularized, and is not aware of the process to regularize her status.
- In order to start orienting her, what questions would you ask her in order to get to know her profile and be able to give her better information?
- On the basis of the information provided, think of a script/protocol to guide the woman in the beginning of her procedure (NGOs to turn to, where she can find legal advice, housing assistance, language classes, an association in her country of origin, etc.).
Activity 2: About the specific difficulties that a migrant woman may encounter
- What improvements does the text propose for better care?
- Do you think that any further difficulties may be encountered because of the gender issue in migration?
Do you agree that professionals should have specific training that takes into account the gender factor in migration, in order to provide a more effective response?
