The Migration Process In Moroccan Women

The migration process in Moroccan women

In the present subepper we seek to show the situation of many Moroccan women, who have carried out the immigration process, both women who have arrived alone and women who have done it accompanied. As we can see, different authors, over the years, have studied the presence of Moroccan women in the territory, and there are differences in their way of life in the receiving country, depending on whether these women come alone or accompanied by theirCouples.

At the beginning of the century immigration from Morocco to Spain was increasingly feminine. Samper explains that this fact is not due to the increase in family regrouping but to a growing number of single and divorced women who emigrate on their own and with a labor project. This new type of immigration is starring urban women, with studies and who have an important economic role in their families. Which violates the traditional Muslim restrictions on female mobility and their participation in public space.

According to the mayor study et al., The marital status of Moroccan women translates into different migratory trajectories, with different causes of emigration, and different ways of emigrating. Married women often use family migratory strategies. Most follow the husband in their immigration project, but we can also find joint migratory projects or that first is the woman who emigrates. For women who arrive here with family regrouping, a family organization similar to that of origin usually occurs.

The woman stays in the domestic sphere, in this way isolation occurs regarding the receiving society, and therefore, difficulty of learning the language and family relationships. Women who emigrate with their partner do not aim to paid work, although on many occasions they can perform some type of occupation. On many occasions, he does not request the work permit, which creates a dependency to the husband in terms of administrative legal situation. 

On the other hand, the migration project of single or divorced women is explained, which is very similar among them. Divorced women, are found in the "marriage market", have difficulty getting married. These do not find imigrants impediments, and produces less anguish, since in the receiving company they will not have the need to marry again. In the case of having children, the presence of these or not in the receiving country, will determine its immigration career, because if you are not with them, and cannot bring them, the return to the country of origin will become an obsession. 

In women’s women’s projects, outside work is the objective of emigration. The work of women who emigrate is usually related to domestic service and hospitality. They are works that are not very controlled by labor inspections and that hinder the regularization of these women, which hinders social insertion into the receiving society.
