Gender, Remittances and Development is a new study which seeks to raise awareness of women’s changing roles in migration and assess the impact of remittances sent by women migrants on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.

Published by the United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women and the South African Institute of International Affairs, with support from the United Nations Population Fund, the study highlights the growing impact of women’s migration on households, families and communities in selected countries of the SADC. It also focuses on female migration from and between six SADC countries, namely Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland and Zimbabwe, principally to South Africa.
