The project will therefore achieve the following results:
- A map of case studies that will address the holistic and multidimensional understanding of female migration processes, including differences and specificities related to the countries of origin, transit and destination, and all the contextual conditions that affect the migrant women's trajectories towards different outcomes as successful integration or marginal positions in the receiving society.
- An e-learning package aiming at preparing students of social sciences to deal with women migrants integration combating discrimination, segregation, racism, bullying and violence, and transversally address the needs of also those students that despite studying for professions non directly linked to migration phenomenon could be asked to face and interact with woman migrants integration issues.
