50 Inspiring Voices of Migrant Women by Mary Ann Thompson-Frenk PDF Summary

Book Description: "We need to move the debate about migration from one of common identity to one of common values. We need to help people and governments understand the contribution that migrants can make."William Lacy Swing, Director General of the International Organization for Migration."The media and news very often portray migrants in a negative light, focusing on the strain they put on society, and sadly, this sort of unbalanced and pessimistic attitude can detract attention from all the positive efforts of migrants. The emphasis of the brilliant hard work of migrant women, and of the obstacles they overcame on their paths to success is long overdue. That is what this book, in two parts, sets out to do."Mirela Sula - Author"This book comes at an opportune time when challenging stereotypes of what a migrant looks like and how our sociery benefits from being open and welcoming, has never been more important."Seema Molhatra, UK Member of Parliament"Each of these women contributors are unique and their life journey to the present is distinctive. Gathered together here you will see diversity in every way and yet, so many similarities too. This book is a timely highlighting of what it is like to be a migrant woman in a new country with the early struggles they endure and the huge contribution they make to society and the economy, after they have found their feet.The stories reveal that they arrive in a new country with little money, and more usually with no job secured, no social or family network or a social benefit net. And they also have the challenge of learning or mastering a new language, and the regional accents! For the women, often there is the additional responsibility of children to care for, to feed, have educated and a roof over their head, albeit in a cramped space with very basic facilities. The initial reception can feel harsh and less than welcoming.However, in every story you will see a now successful and high achieving migrant woman to uplift and inspire anyone with an open mind and for other migrant women presently in their early phase of being in a new country. The women are not just telling their stories but offering practical tips and advice, either on integration, or on running your own business."Trevor Clarke - Editor
