- Description
- This issue is dedicated to the problems of migrations from the point of view of undertaken research in Switserland. Magalie Gafner and Irène Schmidlin analyze the possibilities for migrant women to obtain stable residency status in Switzerland. They argue that the legal provisions have discriminatory effects on women who are not citizens of the EU or EFTA. The number of women migrating to Switzerland from countries outside the European Union has significantly increased in recent years. The feminization of migration has been conceptualized in the literature as an outcome of global economic forces and as the only option for women from low-income countries to solve their material needs. Yvonne Riaño and Nadia Baghdadi argue that this perspective is insufficient to explain female migration. Based on a qualitative analysis of the life stories of twenty women from Latin America, Southeast Europe and the Middle East, they conclude that many factors other than economic hardship shape the decisions of women to migrate. In particular, a desire to achieve gender equality in wider society and at the household level appears to be a strong motivation for migration. In her article Corinne Dallera provides reflections on the condition of women immigrant workers through a presentation of the experiences of three such women since their arrival in Switzerland in the beginning of the 1980s. These intimate reports reveal important aspects of the ways in which gender relations are structured by the discriminatory system that regulates residency for those of foreign nationality and vice versa, with the aim of controlling women immigrants. Dallera also questions the great influence that psycho-culturalism plays in the official approach to the integration of immigrant women in Switzerland. Christine Achermann and Ueli Hochstettler based their paper on research on foreign inmates in two high-security prisons in Switzerland (one for female and the other for male inmates). They look at the prison as a gendered organization and explores how it copes with the growing heterogeneity of the prison population due to global migration and delinquency.

- Description
- In this special about feminist economics Sylvie Morell argues for a better mastery by feminist economists of a specific school of thought in economics. Cristina Carrasco's focus of her paper is on the issue of unpaid care as a social problem, as opposed to a private matter concerning only women, and thereby to promote an open public debate about the utility and equity of this arrangement. Ingrid Robeyns examines how useful Amartya Sen's capability approach for feminist economics is. Céline Schnegg discusses the experience of abortion through medication. Christine Pirinoli sheds light through a historical analysis of Palestinian women's activism on the mechanisms and logics of nationalist discourses that aim to maintain a patriarchal system presented as authentically Palestinian. Patricia Roux, Lavina Gianettoni and Céline Perrin analyze interrelationships between different forms of domination, and more specifically the ways in which relations of domination constructed around the categories of sex and race feed into and mutually reinforce each other.
