At the Émile Durkheim Research Unit, she is currently conducting a study titled "Navigating Borders and Barriers: The Intersection of Gender, Justice, and Migration in Crisis Situations." This research explores how gender influences the migration experience during crises, examining justice mechanisms shaped by gender inequalities. The study aims to address questions about how gender norms influence migration decisions in crises, the specific challenges faced by migrants of different genders, and how legal frameworks affect gender justice during these times. The findings will provide valuable insights for policymakers and organizations in creating gender-responsive migration policies during global crises.
