INTRODUCTION TO GMGN		GMGN RESOURCES
Welcome to the Global Migration and Gender Network (GMGN) The GMGN was established as a result of a two-day workshop on gender and international migration, convened in March 2005 by the Global Commission on International Migration (GCIM). Its purpose is to provide a means for practitioners and researchers with an interest in this issue to share information and ideas on a regular basis. The co-ordination will initially be assumed by the GCIM Secretariat. The network will be issuing a regular newsletter to all network subscribers, incorporating links to relevant documents, news of forthcoming conferences and publications, book reviews and opinion pieces. The success of the network and its newsletter will depend on the input provided by subscribers. Please inform your colleagues of this initiative and provide the GMGN with items that you would like to feature in the newsletter. We are delighted to say that a number of eminent people in the field of gender and international migration have already expressed their support for the network. Their messages can be found below.
