Women, Migrations and Health

Abstract

Several topical issues arising from the contemporary migrant context, at both regional and global levels, are addressed in the chapter. First, when it comes to the sphere of the European Union, the emphasis is on the issues of integration in the migrant context, as well as the security situation. Women have often been heavily involved in the survival of their families and communities, but today the 'feminisation of migration' and 'feminisation of survival' processes are very evident. These two phrases highlight the increasingly public and visible forms of women's contribution to families, along with their contribution to the state and society (immigrant and emigrant), especially the growing world demand for their services. Although women have always migrated, developments in the last decades sustain both their presence in international migration flows and their recognition as migrants. The focus of this contribution on presenting certain results of ongoing research, chiefly on the social integration of migrants in Slovenia.

Stroke Rehabilitation for Falls and Risk of Falls in Southeast Asia: A Scoping Review With Stakeholders' Consultation

Therefore, it is hoped that this scoping review provides an insight for future research to consider both elements when conducting studies on falls and stroke.…”
