MIGRATION AND WOMAN: THE FEMINIZATION OF MIGRATION AND THE STATE OF MIGRANT WOMEN

Summary/Abstract: Recently, a concept called “feminization of migration” has been widely discussed in international literature. The concept implies that the number of female immigrants in developed economies is higher than that of male immigrants as well as the increase in demand for women segregated jobs in target countries, the tendency of women to migrate individually, and the inclusion of women in all kinds of migration. Migrating in difficult weather and transportation conditions puts all immigrant groups at serious vital risks. However, children and women can be much more affected from all this experience. From this understanding and sensitivity, this study sought answers to questions about why and how women migrants are migrating, what risks they are facing during and after migration, and how migration effecting migrant women and their families.
