Violence is very present in the lives of many migrant women throughout the world. Gender inequality is an important cause of vulnerability to violence and discrimination. This problem is very difficult to solve due to regulatory policies. Migrant women still experience a lack of security and protection from violence.
Violence against migrant women often results in social costs that are difficult to measure, such as human pain and suffering. It is necessary to design support services to inspire enough confidence so as to reach those women in need, and IOM plays an important role in this as it is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and the whole society.
