Transformative Approaches to Gender, Migration, and Development

This chapter lays the groundwork for examining the complex relationships between the concepts of migration, gender, and development. I highlight the importance of the book’s focus in today’s world and provide some historical and contemporary context for understanding the interplay of migration, gender, and development. I introduce the theoretical frameworks or approaches that the book uses to analyse the interplay between these concepts. Of course, this chapter lays the groundwork for examining how migration, gender, and development intersect and influence each other and why this issue matters for understanding and addressing significant challenges facing individuals and societies today.
