Abstract

Compiling photographs and testimonies from Indigenous Warao and non-Indigenous Venezuelan women displaced in Brazil, ‘Moving Forward / Salir Adelante' offers a candid and often shocking insight into migrant women’s experiences. It specifically looks at the challenges these women face, their vulnerabilities, and their unwavering dedication to their families and communities in the face of adversity.
The English / Spanish photobook addresses three main themes: caregiving and self-care; gender-based violence; and barriers to sexual and reproductive healthcare. It calls to attention the failures of programmes designed to protect migrant women and girls, and the need for responsive, gendered, and culturally-sensitive policy to support them.
Some photographs are artistic. Others are shocking. All, although full of love, paint a picture of the extreme and specific issues migrant women and girls face today, which impede them from enjoying the rights, dignity, and respect they are entitled to.
‘Moving Forward / Salir Adelante’ is an accessible book for the general public as well as students and policymakers committed to women’s rights, sexual and reproductive health, and the gendered experience in South-South corridors of migration.
