Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the emotions and experiences that live Colombian women migrants in Spain who are determined to fulfill great commitments and responsibilities to a better future for their own sons and daughters, as well as for their core family support, affecting their own wellbeing. As part of methodological design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with women and health professionals and healthcare workers, in the city of Valencia, Spain. Reflections of the author herself are also included, after returning to her country of origin. Women migrants are the protagonists of much of human mobility, as "remittance providers" in order for their families to ensure an economic wellbeing, even at the expense of their physical, emotional, psychological and economic wellbeing. Sacrifice and resilience are present in every moment of his migrant life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
