Senegal
Description: 

The African Gender Forum is organised by Femmes Africa Solidarité (FAS), its Pan-African Centre for Gender, Peace and Development, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and other partners.

This year's theme is ‘African Women and Migration'. Regional and international migration plays a critical role in Africa's economic development, peace and stability. Every day, thousands of Africans cross borders and travel overseas for a perceived better livelihood. But the impact of this human capital flight is often borne by women who are left behind to care for children. There are also women who migrate independently in search of greener pastures abroad.
