Migrant Mother
Three migrant women in Canada under the Agricultural Worker Program open their hearts to let us delve into the complex world of maternity from afar. Their narratives help us to reflect on the several dimensions that pervade migration processes. Being women —mothers, maidens, or widows (which is the case of one of them)— and originating from rural communities (among other characteristics), they put at risk their emotional stability and their children’s. Besides, they are placed under circumstances where migration increasingly becomes an option for the people living in precariousness because of the patriarchal power structures.
