About
The International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW) was created in 1976. Its headquarters are established in the Dominican Republic.
Its objectives are:
- Applied Research
- Information sharing and dissemination
- Capacity building
- Institutional development
Most immigrants are forced to leave their children back in their countries of origin, creating the so-called transnational families.
The purpose of the project is to study the effects of transnational motherhood on Dominican migrant women living in New York City and their experience with family reunification.
This research will be part of a larger research that INSTRAW is carrying out in regards to women’s migration around the world.
It will contribute to expand the knowledge about general migration and more specifically about women’s migration.
As part of this project we will:
- Research existing literature
- Interview with members of different organizations
- Interview Dominican community leaders
- Interview Dominican women living in New York City
- Document the project via pictures
