The volume Women in New Migrations. Current Debates in European Societies offers an overview of research and debates concerning new female migrants within European national contexts. It is a product of the research project “Integration of female immigrants in labour market and society. Policy assessment and policy recommendations” (acronym: FeMiPol) funded by the European Commission (within the 6th Framework Programme: Scientific Support for Policy), conducted from 2006 to 2008. The project explored and analysed the impact of migration and integration policies on the position of new female migrants, as well as processes and practices related to integration. A starting assumption of the FeMiPol project was that in order to improve social integration, policies should attend to the agency of all actors involved. The project focused on both regular and irregular migrants employing an integration concept that takes into account the biographical dimensions of integration processes and is open to the transnational character of migration in globalised societies, considering processes of integration in both the society of migration and the society of origin. On the basis of this agency-sensitive biographical evaluation of policy, the project formulated recommendations for better policies, both on the national and the EU level, aimed at the integration of female migrants in a socially cohesive manner. The project paid specific attention to different forms of labour market insertion of female migrants, especially to migrant domestic and sex workers.
