Gender Perspectives in Migration Training Course

 Gender Perspectives in Migration Training Course 

Introduction 

Migration is a complex global phenomenon shaped by economic, social, political, and environmental factors.

Leveraging case studies, interactive sessions, and evidence-based methodologies, participants will explore the challenges faced by migrants of diverse genders, examine policy implications, and develop practical solutions.
