> Applying Biometrics to Travel Documents - the Portuguese Experience

Date: Monday, 2 October | lundi, 2 octobre | 2ª-feira, dia 2 de Outubro

Time:  4 pm-5 pm | 16h-17h

Location:  Culturgest / Room 5

Language: English

Description:

• [EN] Applying Biometrics to Travel Documents - the Portuguese Experience: This is a one-hour presentation and demonstration in the afternoon at Culturgest. This presentation seeks to get participants acquainted with the Portuguese project for using biometric data in travel and identity documents. The growing circulation of people generates challenges to the international community, to states, institutions and individuals when it comes to ensuring security and reduced bureaucracy at border crossings for all. New technology allows for more efficient border control, maintaining a high standard of security for everyone and protecting personal identity information. It is important to consider the implications of falsified documents produced by international networks that benefit from illegal migration and to work towards discouraging identity theft.

• [FR] L'application de données biométriques aux documents de voyage - l'expérience portugaise :  Il s'agit d'une présentation et d'une démonstration d'une heure au Culturgest. Le participant aura ici l'occasion de se familiariser avec le projet portugais de l'usage de données biologiques pour les documents de voyage et d'identité. La mobilité accrue de personnes pose des défis à la communauté internationale, les états, les institutions et les individus lorsqu'il s'agit de garantir la sécurité et la réduction des processus bureaucratiques aux passages des frontières. Les nouvelles technologies permettent un meilleur contrôle aux frontières, le maintien d'un haut standard de sécurité pour tout le monde et la protection de toute information d'identité personnelle. Il est important de considérer les conséquences de documents falsifiés produits par des réseaux internationaux qui font profit des migrations illégales et de lutter contre les vols d'identités.

• [PT] A Utilização da Biometria nos Documentos de Viagem e Identificação - o Caso Português: Esta actividade consistirá numa apresentação de uma hora que terá lugar durante a tarde de 2ª feira. Terá como principal objectivo apresentar o projecto português de utilização de dados biométricos em documentos de viagem e identificação. A crescente circulação de pessoas tem vindo a colocar uma série de desafios à comunidade internacional, aos países, às instituições e aos indivíduos, no que se refere à salvaguarda da segurança e à redução da burocracia na travessia de fronteiras. A tecnologia actual permite um controle mais eficiente das fronteiras, assegurando simultaneamente elevados níveis de segurança e a protecção dos dados pessoais. Importa ter em conta as implicações da falsificação de documentos por parte de redes internacionais de imigração ilegal e a necessidade de combater o roubo de identidade.

> The Migrant Woman, Deconstruction of Stereotypes

Date: Monday, 2 October | lundi, 2 octobre | 2ª-feira, dia 2 de Outubro

Time:  4:30 pm-6 pm | 16h30-18h

Location:  Culturgest / Room 4

Languages: Portuguese

Description:

• [EN] The Migrant Woman, Deconstruction of Stereotypes: Women have always migrated, though from the mid-1980s onwards those migrating for economic reasons grew more visible. Globalisation and international commerce have added new dimensions to this phenomenon. The inclusion of migrant women in host countries’ labour markets often corresponds to a domestic unit’s survival strategy, which brings to light an emerging global social phenomenon: woman-led families.

• [FR] La femme migrante, déconstruction des stéréotypes : Cet atelier porte sur le rôle de la femme dans les mouvements migratoires. Les participants et participantes se pencheront sur l'introduction des femmes migrantes dans le marché du travail des pays d'accueil, qui correspond souvent à une stratégie de survie de la cellule familiale et suscite des discussions sur un nouveau phénomène social : le leadership de la femme dans la famille.

• [PT] As mulheres migrantes: desconstruindo os estereótipos: As mulheres sempre migraram, embora as migrações de mulheres por motivos económicos tenham adquirido maior visibilidade a partir de meados da década de 1980. A globalização e o comércio internacional vieram conferir novas dimensões a este fenómeno. A participação das mulheres migrantes nos mercados de trabalho dos países de acolhimento corresponde muitas vezes a estratégias de sobrevivência dos agregados familiares, o que denota a emergência do fenómeno social global das famílias lideradas por mulheres.
