Abstract
This article examines the impact of migration on gender violence against women in the municipalities of Nahuatzen and Cherán, in the Sierra Purépecha, Michoacán, Mexico. This indigenous region is one of the main senders of labor to other areas of the country and the United States, a migration phenomenon that leads to a restructuring of the family core and the community. Using a qualitative method, semi-structured interviews were conducted with four women between 18 and 35 years old. It was found that, women experience situations of vulnerability: gender roles, power relations and scenarios of physical, psychological, economic and sexual violence are exacerbated by their husbands, family members or active subjects in the migration process.
