GARCIA-AGUILAR, María del Carmen. Central American Women Who Travel and Work on the Southern Border of Mexico. An Analytic Reconstruction. LiminaR [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.81-95. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.2536/liminar.v15i2.532.

This article analyzes the experiences of Central American women who travel through Mexico and those who stay on the southern border to work. An analytic perspective is offered not only to disentangle the current paralysis of thinking about the issues affecting these women, but to suggest ways to dignify their living and working conditions through gender-sensitive public policy changes.. From phenomenology, as a method, the article recovers the experience of everyday life of migrant women who face multiple and contingent realities. It concludes with the registration of new-old forms of representation, of projects and experiences lived and felt that invoke an epistemology of “disillusionment”.

Palabras llave : Central American migrant women; gender; human rights; daily life; violence; public policy; migration policy.
