The authoresses analyse the opportunities created for political activity by migrant women and the extent to which they are able to participate in and influence mainstream policy-making. Thereby, this one is essential reading for anyone interested in modern European immigration policy.

The article analyses the feminisation of migration in the context of international and contemporary migrations: accordingly, the feminisation can be understood as an increasing number of female migrants, as a change in the migrant women’s profile, and/or as a change in analytical criteria by including a specific gender approach.

Accordingly, data on migration should be gender-sensitive, and national policies of European countries should take into account how gender shapes the different needs of migrants (women and men) while developing relevant integration policies.
