Women and children in migration The dimension of rights

Résumé

The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief analysis of some consequences of
migrations in western societies. The international migration processes that involve
Europe can no longer be considered a temporary emergency. More realistically,
European societies are facing a structural phenomenon that depends on the
overall organization of the global economy and on the spreading of conflicts in
the Mediterranean and Middle East areas. Within this framework, the paper reflects
on trafficking and exploitation as the worst forms of fundamental rights denial.
Pedagogy and educational sciences must identify their own roles in dealing
with problems that derive from these scenarios and must share a real commitment
at the level of intervention planning and, more generally, of good practices.
