CARTAYA: MOROCCAN WOMEN AT THE CENTRE OF A CIRCULAR MIGRATION PROGRAMME IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Circular migration is often presented as a triple-win approach providing benefits to receiving countries through meeting labour market shortages, for sending countries through guaranteeing remittances for development, and for migrants themselves through offering employment. But what does this approach really mean?

Journalists working with December 18 took a closer look at one particular initiative in Cartaya in Southern Spain. The result will be a multi-media package that will be released in the lead up to International Migrants Day in December 2009.

These photos were captured by Sirio Magno Bosco in May 2009 while Radio 1812 was in Cartaya producing a report about the circular migration program being carried out by the government of Cartaya.
The key characteristic of the program, as these pictures shows, is that there´s a preference for hiring female workers.

You can also find here basic information in the form of briefs on issues of circular migration.
