Tirman on Women & Migration
A new volume drawing from a major CIS project has just been released by Springer. Women, Migration and Conflict: Breaking a Deadly Cycle, resulted from a research effort commissioned by the UN Population Fund in 2007 and managed by CIS. The project brought together leading analysts on this timely topic—mainly, how to mitigate the impacts of forced migration on women and children—in two workshops, and this book is the major product. Co-edited by Susan Forbes Martin of Georgetown University and CIS executive director John Tirman,...Read morethe contributors include Dr. Jennifer Leaning of Harvard, a member of the Inter-University Committee on International Migration, which also helped advise the project. “This work shows the vital link between migration and security, and the role that multilateral organizations play in helping women deal with often dangerous, chronic dislocations,” Tirman says. “We’re pleased that we could productively work with a major U.N. agency and this excellent cohort of scholar/practitioners to produce such a useful work.” |
