“…There were 20 that looked at issues of sexually transmitted infections and other diseases of the genitourinary system. Only one paper also mentioned issues possibly indicative of psychosexual dysfunction and another mentioned cancers ( Acharya, 2010 ; Camarena Ojinaga et al., 2017 ), while 9 studies included mental and emotional health ( Medecins Sans Frontieres, 2017 ; Morris et al., 2013 ; Rodriguez-Montejano et al., 2015 ; Goldenberg et al., 2018 ; Medecins Sans Frontieres, 2020 ; Cardenas-Rodriguez and Vázquez Delgado, 2014 ; Acharya, 2019 ; Stephen, 2019 ; Wang et al., 2019 ). To be more specific, the study of risk factors, prevention interventions and detection of prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (often HIV) dominated, with only rare mention of other genitourinary problems such as urinary tract infections, abnormal vaginal discharge and other issues of gynecological illness and pain ( Acharya, 2010 ; Serván-Mori et al., 2013 ; Medecins Sans Frontieres, 2017 ).…”

The mention of cancers was in a study of internal migrants in Mexico who confirmed that they knew about and undertook screening for cervical and breast cancer ( Camarena Ojinaga et al., 2017 ).…”

“…Furthermore, studies indicated that female migrant workers may face sexual abuse, slavery, violence, and lack of access to reproductive healthcare services [ 106 – 108 ]. Health care needs and expectations of female migrants, particularly reproductive health needs, are often overlooked [ 109 – 116 ]. Pregnancy for migrant women can be a difficult experience with many risks to mother and fetus [ 117 – 125 ].…”

BackgroundThe health of migrants has become an important issue in global health and foreign policy. Assessing the current status of research activity and identifying gaps in global migration health (GMH) is an important step in mapping the evidence-base and on advocating health needs of migrants and mobile populations. The aim of this study was to analyze globally published peer-reviewed literature in GMH.MethodsA bibliometric analysis methodology was used. The Scopus database was used to retrieve documents in peer-reviewed journals in GMH for the study period from 2000 to 2016. A group of experts in GMH developed the needed keywords and validated the final search strategy.ResultsThe number of retrieved documents was 21,457. Approximately one third (6878; 32.1%) of the retrieved documents were published in the last three years of the study period. In total, 5451 (25.4%) documents were about refugees and asylum seekers, while 1328 (6.2%) were about migrant workers, 440 (2.1%) were about international students, 679 (3.2%) were about victims of human trafficking/smuggling, 26 (0.1%) were about patients’ mobility across international borders, and the remaining documents were about unspecified categories of migrants. The majority of the retrieved documents (10,086; 47.0%) were in psychosocial and mental health domain, while 2945 (13.7%) documents were in infectious diseases, 6819 (31.8%) documents were in health policy and systems, 2759 (12.8%) documents were in maternal and reproductive health, and 1918 (8.9%) were in non-communicable diseases. The contribution of authors and institutions in Asian countries, Latin America, Africa, Middle East, and Eastern European countries was low. Literature in GMH represents the perspectives of high-income migrant destination countries.ConclusionOur heat map of research output shows that despite the ever-growing prominence of human mobility across the globe, and Sustainable Development Goals of leaving no one behind, research output on migrants’ health is not consistent with the global migration pattern. A stronger evidence base is needed to enable authorities to make evidence-informed decisions on migration health policy and practice. Research collaboration and networks should be encouraged to prioritize research in GMH.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12889-018-5689-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Respecto del primer punto, tal como muestran otras investigaciones (Camarena Ojinaga et al, 2013), las trabajadoras señalan como daños o enfermedades asociadas al trabajo en fincas y fábricas sintomatologías dermatológicas y respiratorias, debido al uso de agrotóxicos, pesticidas y desinfectantes. También manifiestan padecer dolores corporales diversos debido a posturas forzadas en las cintas de producción o por la intensa demanda física del trabajo.…”

En las últimas décadas se aprecia un aumento de investigaciones abocadas a la participación de las mujeres en los flujos migratorios. Incluso se afirma que asistimos a un proceso de “feminización de las migraciones” que implica el aumento de la cantidad de mujeres involucradas en los movimientos poblacionales de manera autónoma y la visibilización de su participación histórica. En ese contexto, ha cobrado relevancia dentro de las ciencias sociales la relación entre migraciones protagonizadas por mujeres y la salud/enfermedad/cuidado. El artículo propone un diálogo entre dos casos de estudio etnográficos situados en Argentina: 1) mujeres migrantes que trabajan en la agricultura en Mendoza; y 2) migrantes bolivianas insertas en talleres textiles de Buenos Aires. Mediante un enfoque comparativo exploramos las condiciones en que acontecen sus trayectorias migratorias y los modos de vida/ vivienda/trabajo en la sociedad a la que migraron, sus narrativas del padecimiento y las estrategias de cuidado que despliegan para recuperar la salud.
