A Passage to Hope: Women and International Migration
Today, half of all international migrants—95 million—are women and girls. Yet, despite substantial contributions to both their families at home and communities abroad, the needs of migrant women continue to be overlooked and ignored. The State of World Population 2006 report, A Passage to Hope: Women and International Migration, examines the scope and breadth of female migration, the impact of the funds they send home to support families and communities, and their disproportionate vulnerability to trafficking, exploitation and abuse. The report reveals that although migrant women contribute billions of dollars in cash and services, policymakers continue to disregard both their contributions and their vulnerability—even though female migrants tend to send a much higher proportion of their lower earnings back home than their male counterparts.

Taking advantage of the considerable organizational and human resources of military institutions to protect reproductive health and rights is emerging as a powerful
strategy in both peacetime and conflict situations. For decades, UNFPA has worked
with the military sector to reach out to men with information, education and services
on family life and family planning. This experience is now being applied to a
wider spectrum of reproductive and sexual health concerns, including maternal
health, HIV/AIDS prevention and reduction of gender-based violence. This digital document offers lessons learned from reproductive health projects in nine
different military organizations.
