Mozambique: A study of migrant women in Mozambique

This paper discusses the issue of migrant women and women's integration in Maputo within the context of the new trends of female migration. For a year about fifty women were interviewed in Maputo as well as in the Niassa province. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that women's migration has occurred within problematic decisions and choices for movement influenced by women's emancipation, SAPs and global trends in Mozambique and in the world economy.
