| Résumé : | Although primary prevention plays a fundamental role in long-term health, it is often overlooked by migrants due to barriers such as language, cultural differences, and limited knowledge of the healthcare system. This paper highlights the barriers that African migrant women face in the Île de France region and the actions implemented by associations, such as the Secours populaire français (SPF), to alleviate these barriers and improve healthcare access. This research also underlines the relationship between institutional and non-institutional actors and to what extent the preventive actions of organizations like SPF align with government health objectives. This thesis consists of five sections. The literature review defines key concepts, presents an overview of the French healthcare system, and examines barriers that migrants, especially African women, face in accessing care. It also describes SPF's role in promoting preventive actions and encouraging healthy behaviors. This thesis evaluates the challenges faced by African migrant women in the Île de France region and presents actionable strategies to address them. It highlights the importance of collaborations with health institutions and includes recommendations to facilitate access to care. Based on qualitative data obtained from six semi-structured interviews with health representatives from four SPF-affiliated federations present in Île de France, the study reveals the barriers, the feasibility of proposed solutions, and the actions already in place to address them. The research study concludes with a summary of key findings, policy recommendations and suggestions for future research. It also provides insights based on expert opinions and lived experiences, demonstrating how primary prevention can improve healthcare access for migrant women. Finally, this research paper provides an answer to the posed research question, with a focus on the analysis and conclusions derived from it. Based on this research, conducting preventive measures to reduce the barriers to seeking care effectively supports better access to health care, while evaluating the relationship between associations and institutional/non-institutional actors. |
