“…Most recently, scholars have studied the role of receiving families and communities in return migrants' “re‐integration” into society, as well as the impact of return migration on the social, political, economic, cultural, and health schemes of families and communities (Fleischer, 2008; Herrera & Montoya‐Zavala, 2018; Zevulun et al, 2021, 6). This body of literature highlights conflict with the family upon reunification and challenges with “re‐integration”, mainly due to the traditional patriarchal culture's influence in receiving societies, returnees' lack of employment, difficulties with meeting family and societal expectations, weak governance of home countries, and a lack of return migration policies (Fernández‐Sánchez et al, 2022; Herrera & Montoya‐Zavala, 2018, 144; Setrana & Tonah, 2014). Thus, we recommend receiving families be supported in return migration policies by providing counselling and educational resources, including access to sexual health education.…”

“…Returnees' social locations of gender, age, indigeneity, disability, and health status were not explicitly present across all the policy documents (Tables 3 and 4). The lack of resources and services for the health needs of return migrants and their families was also noted by the researchers The literature shows that health needs include unmanaged chronic illnesses like arterial hypertension and diabetes type II, mental health conditions like anxiety, stress, and depression, and sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis, human papillomavirus, and HIV (Escamilla, 2021;Fernández-Sánchez et al, 2022). As only a few policy documents acknowledge migrants in relatively greater situations of vulnerability and disadvantage, specific solutions are not identified.…”

“…Migrants who return home after living and working abroad are not exempt from the abovementioned challenges. Most of the migration literature centres on forced repatriation, but return migration also incorporates voluntary return (Fernández‐Sánchez et al, 2022). International migrants stay in host countries for decades, thus creating unique challenges for them and their families when they return home (Kone et al, 2020).…”

Services and resources for migrants returning to Mexico are necessary to ease their transition and “re‐integration” into home communities. Policies that do not have a holistic approach can result in serious implications for the social, political, cultural, and health of returnees, receiving families, and communities. This research critically analyses return migration policies in Mexico drawing from the intersectionality‐based policy analysis framework and a multi‐scalar approach to critically study return migration policies in Mexico. We analysed 20 return migration policies using the principles of the intersectionality‐based policy analysis framework. In 2021, we interviewed those impacted by return migration policies in Veracruz, Mexico to gain deeper insights into return migration policies. Women who stayed behind, return migrants, community leaders, and health‐care providers were interviewed via phone or face‐to‐face in Spanish. Information was transcribed verbatim and analysed with the aid of computer‐assisted data analysis software and quotes were translated into English. They shed light on two major inequities in policies: (1) the lack of acknowledgement of diversity or return migrants and (2) the exclusion of receiving families and communities from the “re‐integration” process of return migrants. Based on the multi‐scalar critical policy analysis, return migration policies in Mexico would benefit from a more comprehensive and inclusive approach where the needs of return migrants and community members are protected based on their diversity.

This article examines the methodological implications of employing intersectional principles in qualitative health research conducted in migration contexts, specifically focusing on a doctoral research project on return migration and reunited couples in Mexico. The article highlights the integration of social justice and community-based research perspectives within an intersectional lens. Five key areas are examined, including recognizing diversity and agency among women who stay behind, navigating intersectional identities, understanding positionality, and advocating for populations made vulnerable by inadequate policies, navigating power dynamics and multiple social locations, and empowering the community through intersectional research. The application of intersectionality challenges homogenizing narratives, emphasizing the agency and resilience of women who stay behind. Reflexivity is crucial in mitigating biases and deepening insights, while collaboration with a local researcher enhances understanding of power dynamics. By empowering the community through advisory committees and culturally relevant dissemination, I aimed to amplify community member voices and promote social justice. This article serves as a valuable resource for researchers conducting intersectional qualitative health research in rural settings, offering guidance on integrating a strength-based approach, fostering intersectional reciprocity, and navigating positionalities.

“…La migración de los hijos es el fenómeno que se presenta en las zonas rurales, incluso en muchos casos el hecho de tener hijos "fuera", es sinónimo de desarrollo y "estatus" dentro de la comunidad. Este movimiento de personas es un proceso social, reconocido por el desplazamiento de individuos de su lugar de origen a otro (Micolta, 2005, como se citó en Fernández-Sánchez et al, 2022). En la película Antuku migró a la ciudad, dejando en el abandono a sus ancianos padres, se muestra también el deseo intenso y constante de una madre que no se resigna a no volver a ver a su hijo.…”
