Humanity continues to make its way to a better world, fleeing poverty, persecution, and wars. As underlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the forced migration is a human right. Article 13 manifests that everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own! But at borders surrounded by the nation-state's rigid walls, immigration is hampered by the strict attitudes of radical decision-makers and immigrants' opponents. Women and children suffer from immigration pains the most because they are more fragile groups on the paths than men.
At least 100 million people have been forced to leave their homes in the past 10 years. Three out of every four asylum seekers have difficulty finding accommodation. Global migration flows from southern countries to north, east to west, from periphery to the center, from exploited states to exploiter countries, from poor to rich... If one of the actors of this challenging journey is men, the other is women. According to UN statistics, half of 244 million migrants and 19.6 million refugees are women.
Selim Vatandaş has written about the straggle of woman on the migration road. The analysis underlines that call upon decision makers to show tenderness for a better migration path!
