Identity, cultures, rights. Socio-anthropological perspectives on migrant women and health

The author proposes a critical and reflective path on the issue of sexual and reproductive health of migrant women with reference to some recent research and publications on the subject, in particular relating to social and health services in north-eastern Italy. Specifically, the author proposes a reflection based on three key concepts - identity, cultures and rights - considered according to the contributions of a multidisciplinary perspective, especially sociological and anthropological, and assumed as theoretical-critical tools capable of accounting for complexity of the cases studied. The contribution offers some critical considerations on the publications examined and presents further possible perspectives and directions of investigation.
