- 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
- Er bestaat veel onduidelijkheid over het optreden van bloedverlies en pijn bij de eerste coïtus, zowel bij vrouwen als bij beroepskrachten. In dit onderzoek zijn de ervaringen van vrouwen van verschillende herkomst vergeleken. De groepen vrouwen zijn geclusterd om een vergelijking mogelijk te maken. De volgende clusters zijn vergeleken: Nederland, Midden Oosten en Marokko, Afrika, Azië, Midden- en Zuid-Amerika, Oost-Europa en overige Westerse landen. Vrouwen uit Nederland geven aan veel minder bloedverlies en pijn te hebben dan vrouwen van buitenlandse herkomst. In dit artikel worden een aantal mogelijke oorzaken genoemd ten aanzien van de factoren die de aanleiding kunnen zijn voor de gevonden verschillen.
