Feminism and migration

1. When Borders and Gender Collide: Feminism & Migration Erasmus+ Training Program [Your Name] & [Colleague’s Name]

2. What Is Intersectionality? Intersectionality = Overlapping systems of oppression Kimberlé Crenshaw (1989) Migrant women face multiple forms of discrimination.

3. Migration Is a Gendered Experience Women: Caregiving, domestic work, higher risk of violence. Men: Manual labor, criminalized, mental health stigma.

4. Migrant Women & Feminized Labor Low-paid, undervalued jobs: Domestic work, healthcare, garment industry, sex work. Often informal, no labor protections.

5. Feminism’s Blind Spot – Who Gets Left Behind? Mainstream feminism focuses on corporate careers. Migrant women need protections in domestic work, legal pathways, anti-trafficking laws.

6. The Global Care Chain Wealthy women hire migrant women for care work. Migrant women’s children are left behind, raised by others.

7. Migration, Feminism & Human Trafficking 71% of trafficking victims are women/girls. Weak migration policies fuel forced labor and sexual exploitation.

8. Borders, Policies & Who Is 'Welcome' Rich migrants are accepted (tech workers, investors). Low-income workers, refugees, and women struggle the most.

9. How Can We Make Feminism More Inclusive? Support fair wages for domestic workers. Fight for safer migration policies. Include migrant voices in feminism.

10. Final Reflection “A feminism that does not address migration is incomplete.” How can we apply what we learned to real-world activism?
