The Importance of Making Moroccan Women in Andalusia More Visible Today

Abstract

In this research we present the main results of an investigation whose objective was to analyse five key questions as a clear reference point for the social and labour integration of Moroccan women in Andalusia: (i) why do Moroccan women emigrate?, (ii) do their families support their migration project?, (iii) how do Moroccan women arrive in Andalusia?, (iv) what do they do?, (v) what are the effects of covid on their labour integration?, (vi) what are the effects of covid on their labour market insertion? To do this, we have used qualitative methodology. Through the in-depth interview technique, we have given voice to the reflections and approaches of our key informants. The results show the need to implement strategies that favour their socio-occupational inclusion where situations of social vulnerability and labour exploitation are eradicated. At present, it is essential to be aware of this reality in order to make them visible and to advance in terms of rights in order to achieve their empowerment in Andalusia.
