Effects of migration on food security and women's status
Jeeyon Janet Kim
Thank you for a timely and important report. Some comments/considerations by sections below.
Section 1.1
Define the term and scope of "food security" which will help add the necessary nuance to the discussion of the multi-level bi-directional linkages between migration flows and food security. In defining food security, some considerations to take note are:
It would be immensely helpful to provide an overview of the conceptual and empirical linkages between migration and these different levels, time frames, and domains of food security.
Section 1.2/1.3
Include a discussion of the transnational migration experience (ex. some household members remaining behind in 'origin' rural areas) and discuss the legal and cultural context which underlie a household's 'decision' to migrate. Report should explicitly note that migration is not just about those who go but also those who do not/cannot and the political, social, and economic context (see UN-INSTRAW's conceptual framework on gender, remittances, and development) of the migration experience.

Thank you and I look forward to reading the report.
