Georgian Women in Germany - Empowerment through
Migration?. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Jan 2009, Pages: 60
The research focuses on young Georgian women's
migration experience to Germany. Specifically, its
aim is to discover whether young Georgian migrant
women feel themselves empowered as a result of
migration and if so, what they see as the
constitutive elements of the empowerment. The study
is placed into a theoretical framework of the
integrative approach to feminized migration which
has multiple levels of analyisis: the state(macro),
individual (micro) and society (meso) levels in both
migrant sending and receiving countries.
The research showed that young Georgian women's
opportunities to have access to a higher western
type education in Germany, the possibility to lead
an independent life, to have a stable income, to
finance their studies and organize their lives were
percieved as empowering aspects of migration.
