The aims of the workshop are: to assess the current knowledge base on gender and migration in Southern Africa; to set out a research agenda for future research into gender and migration in the region
to discuss and develop appropriate theoretical and methodological tools for a gender analysis of cross-border migration; to establish contacts and build networks for knowledge sharing and collaborative research; to raise the profile of gender in the debates on national and regional migration policies.
