>The movement of women as autonomous labour migrants within and across
>national borders is increasing significantly in all regions of the
>world. While labour migration provides women with an alternative means
>of subsistence and often other personal benefits, it is also a reality
>that migrant women workers are subject to various forms of violence.
>
>Given the need to a) promote a better understanding and create greater
>awareness on this problem area, b) promote the exchange of information
>related to practices/experiences (policies, strategies, programmes,
>etc.) in addressing this issue at both the governmental and
>non-governmental levels c) identify data gaps on this issue and d)
>develop appropriate data-collection methodologies that can generate
>comparable data on violence against women migrant workers as bases for
>research and analyses, the United Nations International Research and
>Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW) welcomes
>proposals for the development of a database on the subject.
