Summary/Abstract: The concept of citizenship, which is a multi-layered construct by itself, consists of diverse structures when it comes to the citizenship of immigrant women. The migration process itself is gendered not only because of the fact that men and women are differently affected; but it is also likely to affect how gender identity interacts with the new identity bestowed upon the migrant women. The gendered experiences of oppression directed towards minorities are transformed into gendered dynamics of migrating to a host country and integrating into the new society.
