The journey of Central American women migrants: engendering the mobile commons

The paradox of choice in the sexual and reproductive health and rights challenges of south-south migrant girls and women in Central America and Mexico: A scoping review of the literature

“…For example, intimate partner and gender-based violence as well as nonconsensual sexual relations violate the right of bodily integrity and the ability to choose whether to be sexually active or not. If taken together, 30 articles touched on issues rooted in these varied aspects of bodily integrity and sexual relations (components four through seven) ( Acharya, 2010 ; Medecins Sans Frontieres, 2017 ; Goldenberg et al., 2012 ; Gandhi et al., 2015 ; Conners et al., 2017 ; Ojeda et al., 2012 ; Morris et al., 2013 ; Goldenberg et al., 2016 ; Rocha-Jiménez et al., 2017 ; Pintin-Perez et al., 2018 ; Rocha-Jiménez et al., 2020; Rangel et al., 2012 ; Rodriguez-Montejano et al., 2015 ; Kendall and Pelcastre, 2010 ; Rocha-Jiménez et al., 2018 ; Febres-Cordero et al., 2018 ; Goldenberg et al., 2018 ; Servin et al., 2018 ; Medecins Sans Frontieres, 2020 ; Cardenas-Rodriguez and Vázquez Delgado, 2014 ; Acharya, 2019 ; Stephen, 2019 ; Wang et al., 2019 ; Zarco-Ortiz, 2018 ; Estrada-Tanck, 2017 ; Gustafsson, 2018 ; Angulo-Pasel, 2018 ; Rocha-Jimenez et al., 2016 ; Lopez et al., 2015 ). A total of 19 articles described aspects of access to sexual health services – largely for testing for sexually transmitted infections ( Acharya, 2010 ; Camarena Ojinaga et al., 2017 ; Serván-Mori et al., 2013 ; Medecins Sans Frontieres, 2017 ; Goldenberg et al., 2016 ; Rocha-Jiménez et al., 2017 ; Pintin-Perez et al., 2018 ; Rangel et al., 2012 ; Rodriguez-Montejano et al., 2015 ; Leyva-Flores et al., 2013 ; Rocha-Jiménez et al., 2018 ; Febres-Cordero et al., 2018 ; Goldenberg et al., 2018 ; Servin et al., 2018 ; Medecins Sans Frontieres, 2020…”

“…A total of 19 articles described aspects of access to sexual health services – largely for testing for sexually transmitted infections ( Acharya, 2010 ; Camarena Ojinaga et al., 2017 ; Serván-Mori et al., 2013 ; Medecins Sans Frontieres, 2017 ; Goldenberg et al., 2016 ; Rocha-Jiménez et al., 2017 ; Pintin-Perez et al., 2018 ; Rangel et al., 2012 ; Rodriguez-Montejano et al., 2015 ; Leyva-Flores et al., 2013 ; Rocha-Jiménez et al., 2018 ; Febres-Cordero et al., 2018 ; Goldenberg et al., 2018 ; Servin et al., 2018 ; Medecins Sans Frontieres, 2020 ; Cardenas-Rodriguez and Vázquez Delgado, 2014 ; Gustafsson, 2018 ; Angulo-Pasel, 2018 ; Ramirez-Lopez et al., 2012 ). And 15 articles touched on themes of marriage, unions and sexual partnerships (components eight and nine) ( Goldenberg et al., 2012 ; Conners et al., 2017 ; Ojeda et al., 2012 ; Morris et al., 2013 ; Pintin-Perez et al., 2018 ; Rangel et al., 2012 ; Kendall and Pelcastre, 2010 ; Rocha-Jiménez et al., 2018 ; Gustafsson, 2018 ; Angulo-Pasel, 2018 ; Ramirez-Lopez et al., 2012 ; Arriaga-Romero et al., 2010 ; Goldade, 2011 ; Sintonen et al., 2013 ; Carte, 2014 ). However, the Guttmacher-Lancet framework's original focus is on whether unions are consensual and equitable, but the studies rarely discussed unions within this context.…”

“…Recall that themes of stigma and pleasure are considered under the same component in the Guttmacher-Lancet framework. Seven studies brought out issues relevant for equitable and respectful gender relations ( Acharya, 2010 ; Goldenberg et al., 2012 ; Pintin-Perez et al., 2018 ; Kendall and Pelcastre, 2010 ; Zarco-Ortiz, 2018 ; Angulo-Pasel, 2018 ; Lopez et al., 2015 ), two of which touched on issues of sexual orientation and gender identity ( Zarco-Ortiz, 2018 ; Angulo-Pasel, 2018 ).…”

‘Wir schaffen das’: Hope and hospitality beyond the humanitarian border

“…Many of the people on the move to Europe organised along national lines and tensions between different ethnic and religious group erupted at different points in their movement (Kallius et al, 2016). In her critique of idealised invocations of the mobile commons, Carla Angulo-Pasel (2018) further points out how most of the reproductive and emotional labour during migrants’ travel, especially childcare, continues to be done by women. Moreover, these spontaneous infrastructures can put women, queer and trans people at increased risk of violence and sexual abuse.…”

“…55For studies that examine the interplay between exploitation and agency among women migrants in transit through Mexico, see Cortés (2018); Angulo‐Pasel (2018); Schmidt and Buechler (2017); see also Vogt (2016). …”
