Abstract
Invisibility, misrecognition and inappropriate framing of gender concerns in outdated immigration policies (which have mainly focused on the movements of men) are some key issues for advocacy on social justice in migration. The structural dimension involves how institutions can interact with each other in gendered ways, reproducing classification systems such as skilled/unskilled; legal/illegal, with consequences for the subordination of women as a group of migrants over time. The project underscores the value of multi-sited research methodologies in migration and the importance of studying transformation of gender relations on the sending and receiving ends (during transit and return).
