IOM International organization for migrtation.

This is a brief introduction of the IOM

International Organization for Migration (IOM),  established in 1951 and is an inter-governmental organization was initially established in Committee for European Migration (ICEM) to help resettle people displaced by the second world war.IOM manages migration issues and provide all kind of helps  for governments and for migrant as well  al over  the world.

Nowaday this organization has 127 members. and is allways willing  to help ensure the orderly and human management of migration, to promote on migration issues, international cooperation, also in  constant   assistance in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants needs, including refugees and internally displaced people. (IOM, 2010).

There are parts of the population than in general terms are changing their   dynamics in the migration terms . They were normally  used to migrate as accompanying their husbands and families, but they have  had a radically change now to single women as single mothers. This group of single women  constitutes a neuralgic part which needs special help since they are often located in very low paid jobs and are subjugated to sexual jobs in order to get money to support their families in the new country, this shows us the fact that  women migrants are in more risk to violation of human rights as they go through migration, more often than male migrants. In the violation of human rights, women migrants moreoften have to cross through  inhuman conditions of living, obtaining  hard not well paide works, with a clear increased in the matter of health risiks, as well as  the constant risk of physical violations produced by their bosses. 

The IOM is working actively in the search of the punish of the iligal migration chanels because this chaneles are leading every time more often with the human traffick. the result of this work have helped to create projects that are being implemented at regional and national level giving trainament and assistance to the authorities looking to reduce and finally get rid of this horrible problem.But, the aouthorities are not the only group which the IOM have been working with,  the society have been an important part on the development of the fight  against this cruel activity, taking an active position Furthermore, it has also created projects to work closely with the victims of human trafficking in their reintegration to normal life and in the dealing of the consequences left.

Some objectives of the IOM in the protection of th migrant women are:

- Addressing gendered forms of racism and xenophobia against women migrant

- Promotion of  the physical and mental health and well-being of women migrant workers.

-  Protecting women migrant workers from sexual and gender-based violence,
domestic violence, abusive labour practices and discrimination.

-  Research and data collection on women and international labour migration

Is important to have an wide knoledge and spread of that in all the countries specially in Latin American countries because this kind of issues are things that happens more often that we thing it really happens and always be aware of the way we are going to travel arround the world avoiding this types of dangers.  Be careful and protect your people!.

Hope you enjoy it!

Have a grat day.
