MARTIN DIAZ, Emma. Migratory Strategies of Ecuadorian Women in Seville: Accumulation of Social Capital at Times of Crisis. Migr. Inter [online]. 2012, vol.6, n.4, pp.107-138. ISSN 2594-0279.

This article focuses on the analysis of the strategies of Ecuadorian women in Seville. In particular, we see how the strategy of accumulating assets in the reconstruction and resignification of migrant social women is implemented, by analyzing their evolution from a context of departure acknowledged as one of crisis (a polysemic term that not only includes the financial crisis of 1999 but also a crisis of the social reproduction of patriarchal structures and personal relations) to the current context of economic crisis in reception societies. These strategies include the implementation of resources, whether material, social, political or symbolic, and their administration by "female" networks that have been rebuilt and resignified as the migratory process develops.
