"Without migrant women, the world would not move". Jael de la Luz stressed a similar truth in her Latino Life review of Women Resisting Violence, a book by the WRV Collective which I edited last year. The book spotlights Latin American Women's Rights Service - LAWRS's campaigns & services and MinA_Migrants in Action's work.
