An international round table titled “Gender Agenda in Migration” was held at Karaganda University of Kazpotrebsoyuz.
The meeting took place within the framework of the research project under grant No. AR26103509 “Gender Aspects of External Migration and Adaptation of Migrants in Kazakhstan,” funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The round table brought together experts from various countries—from Portugal and Germany, Latvia and Ukraine to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan—to discuss tectonic shifts in migration processes in Central Asia. Special appreciation is extended to our speakers—Elena Chukurna, representatives of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the BOMCA Programme—for practical case studies and in-depth analysis of the situation at the borders.
It is particularly valuable that this project not only identifies problems but also seeks growth points: how women’s entrepreneurship in rural tourism and digital transformation can turn forced migration into conscious talent mobility. The logical conclusion of this discussion was a look into a “green” future: how the principles of the circular economy open new niches for women in sustainable business.
