“…As previous research showed (Bermúdez, 2014;Godin et al, 2015;Liversage, 2009;Timmerman et al, 2015), the findings illustrate that migratory career evolution is not linear, but depends on the interplay of different structural and personal/family factors which hinder or foster women's goals and aspirations. Moreover, fundamental variables such as age, the presence or absence of children, the years of residence and the direction and duration of mobility should be considered, as they influence migratory careers in various ways.…”

CeMIS Migration and Intercultural Studies 5 The Centre for Migration and Intercultural Studies (CeMIS) was founded in 2005 at the University of Antwerp, on the initiative of a group of researchers who were working together within the framework of the Antwerp Centre for Migrant Studies. The Centre conducts research and provides education and other academic services relating to migration, integration and intercultural themes in various social fields, including the labour market, welfare, family, education, health and law. Collaborating with civil society, policymakers and other academic partners, the research centre addresses the challenges arising from migration and intercultural life in today's society. CeMIS seeks to provide an open and pluralistic research platform that fosters collaboration between society and academia.

“…Nevertheless, deskilling is also linked to family obligations (Meares, 2010;Roca, 2016;Timmerman, Martiniello, Rea & Wets, 2015). In Spain, some of the best-known cases are the downward occupational mobility of women from Latin America (Aysa-Lastra & Cachón, 2015; Oso & Parella, 2012;Parella & Cavalcanti, 2010;Roca, 2016).…”

“…This framework has historically and conceptually consisted of two broad approaches: (1) add women, mix and stir perspective and (2) gender perspective. The "add women, mix and stir" perspective recognizes different experiences of migration among men and women, but solely adds women as a separate category in research and analyzes women's experiences through the same theoretical and methodological tools (Timmerman et al, 2015). This approach does not treat gender as a key constitutive aspect of the migration process and perceives gender and gendered experiences as static.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this commentary is to share preliminary findings from our ethnographic research on refugee women's livelihoods during the COVID-19 pandemic in Portland, Oregon (USA), and to highlight the significance of community efforts in providing gender-responsive measures that address the specific needs and challenges of refugee women.Design/methodology/approachThis commentary draws on a mixed-method approach, including ethnographic research (interviews and observations) as well as an analysis of emerging research on the social implications of COVID-19 in the fields of migration and gender.FindingsRefugee women's livelihoods have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in various specific ways: from losing jobs and healthcare to becoming essential workers and assuming additional caretaker roles, to finding oneself again in unprecedented situations of limited mobility and social isolation. These impacts have been informed by restricted access to resources and services, lack of information about resources and services, and paramount fear due to ever-changing policy. Based on interviews and observations the authors conducted, they find that in many ways, community efforts have addressed the specific needs and challenges of refugee women in the absence of gender-responsive COVID-19 measures across institutional levels and policy areas.Originality/valueIn this commentary, the authors present original data from their ethnographic research on a particularly marginalized, yet resilient population: refugee women. By centering refugee women's experiences, the authors highlight the lack of gender-responsiveness in COVID-19 measures and provide insights into social implications of COVID-19 that often remain overlooked and understudied in discourse and politics.

“…Among the various studies it is worth mentioning the FEMIGRIM collective research "Factors and dynamics affecting and explaining female migration in Belgian society" (Timmerman et al, 2015). This project proposed a gender sensitive framework for research on women which includes a longitudinal perspective based on the macro, meso and micro levels.…”
