SYNOPSIS
Three migrant women in Canada under the Agricultural Worker Program open their
hearts to let us delve into the complex world of maternity from afar. Their narratives
help us to reflect on the several dimensions that pervade migration processes. Being
women —mothers, maidens, or widows (which is the case of one of them)— and
originating from rural communities (among other characteristics), they put at risk
their emotional stability and their children’s. Besides, they are placed under
circumstances where migration increasingly becomes an option for the people living
in precariousness because of the patriarchal power structures.
