Transnational mobilities and gender in Europe

Abstract

Freedom of circulation within the EU has made the borders inside the EU space less important for citizens, for those who have a legal status or come from visa-free countries. For others, the controls have tightened and most have to rely on different economic, cultural and other networks capable of circumventing the restrictive border-management regimes.In this text I will highlight the experiences of migrants who use borders and mobility as a resource in order to improve their social, political and economic condition.
