The New Barcelonians

What are the lives of immigrant women in Barcelona like? How have they established themselves and made a new home in this city? The United Nations University Institute on Globalization, Culture and Mobility (UNU-GCM), based in Barcelona, has carried out research with immigrant women from diverse social and cultural origins to see how they have constructed personal and professional lives in our city, placing special emphasis on those aspects that affect women. The result is an impassioned panorama of the trajectories of women from all over the world, who have made Barcelona their home and that we now present for the first time to the public at the Centre for Contemporary Culture in Barcelona.
