IOM is an inter-governmental organization that fights for the people rights but the ones that migrate and works in other countries different to the home country. This organization is been working since 1951 promoting international migration laws, protection and assistance of migrants and gender migration. The organization develops each year many projects to search practical solutions to migration problems in the world.Currently women migrants are known as autonomous and family supporters. Today, women report almost half of the migrant population globally. Nevertheless, migration policies and regulations in countries of origin and destination have generally not adjusted to this trend.
Even with this problem, many organizations still tend to take men as the standard for its policies, ignoring women’s needs, objectives, and abilities to act independently. Some policies and regulations typically do not consider the roles and relationships between men and women. However, there are some strategies that have been increasingly incorporated into this important issue.
IOM is one of those organizations that is working with and for women migrant’s rights, it is providing training to improve social skills and internationally acceptable standard certification for the women migrant workers.
IOM's approach in some countries has focused on giving support in training government authorities on women and men migratory issues and encouraging states to pay attention to the needs of the people living abroad. For that reason, the IOM has supported the development of multilateral agreements in countries related with this issue in order to help the flow of temporary migrants. Also, it has increased its campaigns to conduct significant researches in the world, the results of which have provided a better characterization and understanding of migratory flows. IOM has directly supported the voluntary repatriation of women and men migrants and has helped them to integrate into their national economies.
