IOM

The IOM is the main intergovernmental organization in the field of migrations.

"IOM works to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration, to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people."http://www.iom.int/jahia/Jahia/about-iom/lang/en

One of the most important things of this organization is that it recognices how important are migrants for economy and culture, and also respects the freedom of movement people have.

With freedom of movement we can understand the reasons of migrations and one of the most common is the willing for a better life, which includes a better paid job and opportunities.

Our main topic for this task is going to be female ilegal migrants and how are them different to male ones.

Most of the female ilegal migrants are woman that have no oportunities in their country because of the high unemployement and some times because they are not taked into account for good jobs.

But the reallity is that female ilegal migrants are still seen as the weak sex, so they are saw like the people who makes jobs no one wants to do and still worse, jobs that not even male ilegal migrants want to do. Because of this female workers have no more options that take those jobs that are not well paid (some times under the minimum) and can be working in not very good conditions. The bad working conditions and the need for money can lead this female workers to start in prostitution.

IOM helps female migrants by protecting their right and health so they can have a decent life in the host country. Some actions they do to improve the quality of living of migrants are the creating of programs for training women in some basic skills so they can have the opportunity to get a decent job and avoid prostitution or other ilegal jobs.

The main task IOM do at this moment is the improvement of conditions for ilegal migrants
