WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN MIGRATION

PROTECTIONS AND RECEPTION SYSTEMS

(edited by)

Stefania Giova, Antonio Mancini

Women and minors represents one of the priorities declared by the European Union for the reception and integration of forced migrants .

In Italy, in 2015, just under 100,000 people requested protection, of which 1 in 10 were women. Recent research shows that the smaller number of forced migrant women compared to men contributes to making interventions aimed at meeting initial reception and integration needs more demanding.

In the light of this scenario, in the years 2016-2018 the University of Molise coordinated a project entitled Forced migrant women: comparative study on reception policies and integration interventions in Europe .

This research allowed an interdisciplinary exchange on a multidimensional basis between different contexts characterized by different power attributions and heterogeneous approaches to the reception and inclusion of applicants and holders of international protection.

The work presented here, therefore, represents a multidisciplinary reflection on the rights, protection, reception and integration of forced migrants in Italy in general, and in Molise in particular, with a specific focus on particularly vulnerable groups, such as women and children.

Integration / Legal Migration National Objective: 3. Capacity building letter m) Exchange of good practices , a fund managed by the Italian Ministry of the Interior.

. In order to encourage the sharing of models of service in favour of protection seekers between Italian and foreign institutional actors, the University of Molise has worked closely with two project partners: the Associazione Centro Astalli, a reality that has been engaged for many years in Rome in the reception of refugees, and the Istituto Ges e Maria managed by the Caritas of Termoli-Larino (Molise), an organization that operates in the region in the field of integrated reception of asylum seekers and holders of international protection. The Lead Partner also involved in the research network the University of Leicester Leicester Migration Network (United Kingdom), the University of Aalborg Center for the Study of Migration and Diversity (Denmark) and the University of Granada Instituto de Migraciones (Spain), academic realities that are characterized by a strong vocation for intervention on integration policies on a local basis and by some peculiarities of their respective national reception systems. The research and sharing activities in the four national contexts have been ensured not only by the expertise of the research centres involved, but also by relations already established by them at local level with numerous public and private actors involved in the policies and interventions for the integration of forced migrants. Finally, the exchange of skills was also encouraged through the involvement of institutions and the Third Sector, particularly in the Molise territory, in the field of reception and integration of asylum seekers and refugees.
