Abstract

The pandemic exacerbated the already inequitable conditions to which Venezuelan migrants are exposed in Latin America. Influenced by global policies of public health control, the Ecuadorian government imposed numerous constraints on internal and external mobilities to reinforce its restrictive shift of at least the past decade, thereby limiting migrant regularization and curtailing the guarantee of the right to seek refuge. In line with Hyndman and Giles’ concepts of the embodied feminist geopolitics of waiting and (im)mobilities this article examines how, in the context of restrictive state policies, social hostility and nationalism, heightened by a public health discourse emphasizing the threat of contagion embodied in migrants and a new border regime scenario, Venezuelan migrant women have deployed multiple strategies of self-care to preserve their lives. Such strategies including reverse migration to their home country, even when it meant returning to places that are even more precarious but perhaps safer for them. It also explores how Ecuador’s institutional responses to the pandemic affected Venezuelan migrants and their action capacity.
"Sentir su camino":厄瓜多尔大流行病期间委内瑞拉移民妇女回国的(非)流动性
大流行病加剧了委内瑞拉移民在拉丁美洲本已面临的不公平条件。受全球公共卫生控制政策的影响,厄瓜多尔政府对内部和外部的流动性施加了许多限制,以加强其至少在过去十年中的限制性转变,从而限制了移民的合法化,削减了对寻求避难权的保障。根据海德曼(Hyndman)和贾尔斯(Giles)关于 "等待和(不)流动性的体现性女权主义地缘政治 "的概念,本文探讨了在国家限制性政策、社会敌意和民族主义的背景下,在强调移民所体现的传染威胁的公共卫生话语和新边境制度的情况下,委内瑞拉移民妇女如何采取多种自我保健策略来保护自己的生命。这些策略包括逆向移民回国,即使这意味着回到更加危险但对她们来说可能更安全的地方。本报告还探讨了厄瓜多尔应对大流行病的机构措施如何影响委内瑞拉移民及其行动能力。
