MADUENO HAON, Nicanor. El impacto de la variable de género en la migración Honduras-México: el caso de las hondureñas en Frontera Comalapa. LiminaR [online]. 2010, vol.8, n.2, pp.164-181. ISSN 2007-8900.

This article is based on two field studies in August 2008 and April 2009 in the municipality of Frontera Comalapa. It intends to participate to the inclusion of gender as a structuring element in migration studies. It is concluded that women migrations don't necessarily question power relations that may exist in the country of departure. On the contrary, these relations rather increase during migration and impose themselves as basis of survival or evolution strategies in the country of arrival.

Palabras llave : gender; migration; border; gender division of labour; maquiladoras; vital records; health; education.
