Compiling photographs and testimonies from Indigenous Warao and non-Indigenous Venezuelan women displaced in Brazil, 'Moving Forward / Salir Adelante' offers a candid and often shocking insight into migrant women's experiences. It specifically looks at the challenges these women face, their vulnerabilities, and their unwavering dedication to their families and communities in the face of adversity.
The English / Spanish photobook addresses three main themes: caregiving and self-care; gender-based violence; and barriers to sexual and reproductive healthcare. It calls to attention the failures of programmes designed to protect migrant women and girls, and the need for responsive, gendered, and culturally-sensitive policy to support them.
Some photographs are artistic. Others are shocking. All, although full of love, paint a picture of the extreme and specific issues migrant women and girls face today, which impede them from enjoying the rights, dignity, and respect they are entitled to.
'Moving Forward / Salir Adelante' is an accessible book for the general public as well as students and policymakers committed to women's rights, sexual and reproductive health, and the gendered experience in South-South corridors of migration.
Basado en fotografíiacute;as y testimonios de venezolanas desplazadas en Brasil, entre las cuales hay indígenas Warao y no indígenas, 'Moving Forward / Salir Adelante' ofrece una visióoacute;n sincera e impactante de las experiencias vividas por estas mujeres migrantes.
El fotolibro presenta específicamente los desafíos que ellas enfrentan, sus vulnerabilidades y su inquebrantable dedicación a sus familias y comunidades frente a la adversidad. Se centra en tres temas claves: cuidado y autocuidado, violencia de géeacute;nero, y barreras al acceso a la salud sexual y reproductiva. Con base a esto, 'Salir Adelante' llama la atención sobre las fallas de los programas de protección para niñntilde;as y mujeres migrantes, así como la necesidad de crear políticas que sean receptivas, conscientes de género y culturalmente sensibles.
Algunas de las fotografías son artísticas, otras son impactantes. Y aunque todas estáaacute;n llenas de amor, evidencian las dificultades extremas y específicas que enfrentan actualmente las migrantes. Las cuales impiden que ellas disfruten de los derechos, la dignidad y el respeto que les corresponde.
'Moving Forward / Salir Adelante' es para quienes estén comprometidos con los derechos de las mujeres, la salud sexual y reproductiva y la experiencia de género en los corredores de migración Sur-Sur. Es tanto para un púuacute;blico general como para los estudiantes, los formuladores de políticas, y los servidores públicos.
