Barriers to the participation of rural migrant women from the State of Mexico in health and migration programs

Abstract

The purpose is to show the gender inequities that limit women's participation and access to health programs, becoming a symbolic and material barrier for Mexican migrant women on their returns. The qualitative methodology was used in three Mexican rural communities, fulfilling the triangulation and theoretical saturation. This strategy produced a typology from Bourdieu's theoretical perspective where, through the symbolic, the construction of two barriers was found from the social imaginary of migrants.
