General
Presentation
Women on the Move (WEMov) is an international network funded by COST (CA19112)
A network of researchers from 52 countries, we are engaged in the timely mission of unveiling women migrants' presence and participation in the construction of Europe. Our transdisciplinary outlook combines a wide variety of expertise in history, sociology, demography, economy, anthropology, political science and the arts, among many other fields. This will foster complementary perspectives to show women migrants' presence, obstacles and capacities in past and present migratory contexts.
Women on the Move (CA19112) is a science and technology network funded over a four-year period and developing networking tools to meet the research coordination and capacity building objectives set out in the COST Action’s Memorandum of Understanding. Its Grant Holder is Université Paris Cité.

WGs are creating a repository of primary sources and a map of landmarks celebrating women migrants across Europe. WEMov is also organising exhibitions and walking tours. We are building a MOOC for educational purposes, and we are also engaged in shooting a documentary with interviews of migrants.
