"An intergovernmental organization established in 1951, IOM is committed to principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society."
The migration of women has always been an imortant component of international migration. As of it's offcial that almost 50 per cent of all intenational migrants are women or girls.
Most migrant women move voluntarily, but women and girls are algo forces migrants in order to escape from conflict, persecution, natural disasters or because they have been victims of trafficking for prostitution and forced labor. Any other situation that affect their security will be followed by migration.
Social roles of women. independence, autonomy, ability to make decisions, their access to resources , and the gender stratification are reasons for the involment of women in migration.
Tho IOM sees the traffiking of women and girls as the major criminal activity because women who are trafficked are the most vulnerable of all migrants as the trafficking involves manipulation, intimadation and abuse of power. trafficked women and girls frequently originate from regions where there are few employment opportunities so they often believe they will work in legitime occupations but find themselves stucked into forced marriage, domestic work, prostitution, factories and other forms of slavery.
The organization strategies to prevent trafficking include the dissemination of information on the modes used by traffickers to entrap women, the threats involved and the legal channels open for migration, as well as the facility of better employment opportunities in their country of origin.
