Gender and Migration: The Complexities of Migration Journeys for Women and Girls

This webinar will shift the migration discourse by focusing on the complexities of forced migration for women and girls. We will show the documentary Eimai, made by the Athens-based agency Action for Women, which tells the stories of three female migrants in Greece. Following the screening, panelists will discuss the legal challenges and mental health implications surrounding forced migration of women and girls. The panelists are Stephen Poellot, director of the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) and an adjunct professor at Fordham Law; Gabrielle Tay, founder of Action for Women; and Sally Salem, humanitarian assistance coordinator with IRAP. Graduate School of Social Service Associate Professor Marciana Popescu, Ph.D., will moderate.
