Gender, migration, urbanisation |
Welcome to the fourth edition of the GMGN Newsletter.
The Global Migration and Gender Network continues to grow, with over 300 subscribed members at the beginning of December 2005.
The special focus of this newsletter is gender, migration and urbanisation.
Thank you to all who responded to my email in mid-November. As usual, we welcome your feedback on the contents of the newsletter. Please contact us at gender@gcim.org if you have any comments about this edition or suggestions for future editions. As in previous editions we have issued a call for papers (see below) and welcome contributions.
We also welcome comments on the final report of the Global Commission on International Migration, which was presented to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in New York on 5 October 2005. You can find it, along with its supporting evidence, on the GCIM website at www.gcim.org.
We hope you will feed back to us on its content and conclusions. Please use the ‘Comments’ link from the homepage, or email gender@gcim.org. Any comments will be posted on a new page - "Responses to the GCIM Report" - on the website.
