Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on international migration, particularly affecting exposed migratory groups such as women and the elderly. This chapter examines the migration of Venezuelan and Haitian women in Brazil, as these countries are major sources of migrants in Brazil. Using Feminist Theory of International Relations and the postmodern approach, this chapter explores the challenges faced by these women and potential policy solutions. The migration situations of the two groups are different, with Venezuelan women seeking asylum or visas for social and health reasons, while Haitian women attempt to leave due to poor working conditions, low wages, and exploitation. The feminization of migration in Brazil has been driven by both groups of women, and their simultaneous in-migration and out-migration trends have important gender policy implications. The chapter recommends policy solutions for the reception and integration of women migrants.
