Migrants in Spain recently began applying to legalize their status. The government passed an amnesty measure that offers undocumented immigrants a one-year, renewable residence permit if they have spent five months living in the country and have a clean criminal record. It's a radical move, and one that once again sets Spain on a very different course to its European neighbors. So, what's been going on in Spain to make such daring policies possible? Well, one answer is grassroots organizing. Reporter Souwie Buis has been taking a closer look - and concluded that women are a major part of the story.
