Vienna, Austria: In line with the work that we do on promoting safe migration for women, we carried out a poll. We asked about the biggest issues that face would-be female migrants today.

58% of respondents highlighted violence against women as a major fear and therefore barrier to female migration. 28% also underlined the difficulties encountered in trying to enter new labour markets.

ICMPD provides independent, fact-based and neutral information on living and working abroad, as well as addresses issues of social stigma. ICMPD also works to prevent female migrants being overworked, unpaid, and becoming victims of many forms of abuse and violence while abroad.
