Have you ever had a difficult time understanding and relating to certain people? Have you found some relationships to be too difficult to tolerate? Are some people simply impossible to work with or be friends with or just plain mean? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get along with others better? If no one bothered you? We have a workshop for you!
It is possible to identify gendered disadvantage at almost every point in a migrant woman’s journey, physical and legal, from country of origin to country of destination, from admission to naturalization. Rules which explicitly distribute migration opportunities differently on the grounds of sex/gender, such as prohibitions on certain women’s emigration, may produce such disadvantage. Women may also, however, be disadvantaged by facially gender-neutral rules.
We don’t always get to choose the people we work with, nor the circumstances. We do, however, get to choose how we handle the relationships with the people we work with and how we manage the circumstances. No matter how talented, gifted, or experienced, and no matter what role we serve or title we carry, our level of success is not measured based on the work we produce; it is measured based on the relationships we build.
