LANDRY, Véronique. Feminization and urbanization of haitian female migrants in the Dominican Republic: approaching their characterization. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.15, pp.201-224. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2013.15.91.

Female migrants from Haiti to the Dominican Republic were initially characterized as the men’s «companions» in the rural sugar cane compounds. The urbanization of migration allowed women to join a new complex and heterogeneous stream as migrants. The aim of this article is to contextualize transformations taking place within the new migratory system in Haiti as well as to identify Haitian women as migration protagonists in the urban areas of the Dominican Republic.

Palabras llave : urban migration in Haiti; gender; Dominican Republic.
