Migrations and functional diversity. Invisible reality of women

Abstract

Given the invisibility of functional diversity in migratory studies and the timid interest of migrations in studies on disability, this work aims to make functional diversity visible, especially to women with functional diversity in migration processes. Based on the analysis of the bibliographic material, the scientific production on migrant women with disabilities is explored through a systematic review of the phenomenon. A typology of people who interact with disability and migration is identified: persons with disabilities who perform the migration; adults who have accessed the disability situation after the migration process or associated with it and minors who, accompanied by their families, migrate to seek better social protection systems that support their disability.
