RAMIREZ RAMOS, Laura Itzel et al. Women-Mothers-Migrants from Guatemala in the Southern Border of Mexico. Migr. Inter [online]. 2020, vol.11, e1906.  Epub 30-Ago-2021. ISSN 2594-0279.  https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.1906.

The concept of motherhood is discussed as a gender device that creates processes of disadvantage and vulnerability. The results presented in this article were generated and analyzed using the biographical method. Through the testimonies of six Guatemalan migrant women, it is shown how the individual experience is interwoven with the historical reality of a given time and space. It is concluded that motherhood, exercised in contexts of inequality, and during migratory processes, is mediated, regulated, and sanctioned by institutions that affect and determine the quality of life of women-mothers-migrants.
