dc.description.abstractAccording to past research, the migration process has shown to be taxing on individuals. More specifically, the language gap can create additional psychological stresses and keep women in Mexico from seeking asylum in the US. Women are fleeing Mexico in order to liberate themselves from the oppressive systems due to patriarchy in their home country. This research will explore how differences in language regarding the immigration process can have an influence on the psychological health of women seeking asylum. To answer this question, previous research on the topic of Mexico/US Migration will be used and examined through psychological and linguistic lenses--the authors’ area of focus. This extensive investigation shows that women face psychological tolls from the language differences when seeking asylum--which in turn creates immense difficulty in this search for a better, safer life. This issue involves Americans because we need to be aware of the vast injustices faced daily by Mexican women and be willing to provide resources to ensure their health and well-being. This is our responsibility because women’s rights are human rights--and we must ensure this is sustained in our sister country, Mexico. By improving the availability of information regarding immigration as well as simply living in the US afterward, we can improve their well-being and eliminate the additional stressors keeping women from immigrating and finding a better and safer life in the US.en_US
