MIGRATION TRAJECTORY OF HAITIAN WOMEN IN PORTO ALEGRE: A QUALITATIVE STUDY
Abstract
This article aimed to address the recent Haitian immigration in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, exploring the significance of the migratory phenomenon for Haitian women. The introduction outlines the feminization of migration, especially Haitian immigration. The objectives of this study are: (1) to know the different trajectories of migration of Haitian women and (2) to understand how gender relations in the migratory process occur. Narrative interviews were carried out with ten immigrants, whose questions were related to the migration trajectory. The analysis of the interviews sought to understand the migration trajectory of these women, what was found of similarities and differences with what has been published on the migration of Haitian women. Some issues, such as language, family and work, have been highlighted and deepened. Their speeches showed how being Haitian is linked to the experience of migration. Their trajectories are marked by protagonism when deciding to migrate alone to other countries. Our findings provide a still limited and defined panorama of the reality of Haitian women in Porto Alegre, but which can serve as a support for thinking about public policies and interventions aimed at raising awareness among the Brazilian population on this very emerging topic, and promoting human rights for the immigrant and refugee population.
