The feminization of migration refers to the increasing number of women among international migrants. One of the most serious consequences of this trend is the increasing vulnerability and prejudice that women migrants frequently experience. According to studies, female migrants suffer disproportionately from poverty, a lack of access to education and training, and a lack of work possibilities. They are also frequently subjected to gender-specific abuse and exploitation, such as sexual harassment and trafficking. Furthermore, women migrants are frequently subjected to restricted immigration regulations and discriminatory legislation, making it difficult for them to get services and legal protection. A study by UN Women (2008) found that women migrants are often forced to take on low-skilled jobs and are paid less than men for the same work.

Women may be more prone than males to react to traffickers' offers since they have less education and awareness of formal legal institutions. In addition to kidnapping, four more typical ways of trafficking women have been found. They include the pretense of a job offer with no sex business overtones, the pretext of a marriage offer, the pretext of an offer to be a singer or dancer in the entertainment sector, and deceit regarding the conditions under which a woman will engage in prostitution (PRB, 2006).

About the lack of work possibilities, women and men have different economic positions, are often unequal, perform different social tasks and are subject to different constraints. Therefore, they are unlikely to react in the same way to guidelines and market signals. Experts observe that women and men behave differently in the global economy. While men make up the overwhelming majority of skilled professionals in the information technology and science sectors, women tend to concentrate in health and care professionals such as education, health care and social sectors, More recently, even in some countries in the Middle East.

When women enter a country of destination on the basis of labor market entitlements, the occupations open to them are often limited to service jobs such as domestic workers, nurses and service jobs (e.g. waitresses). With the exception of the nursing profession, the migration of talented women is relatively unremarkable. With the growth of feminist movements over the years, the difference in numbers of women and men as migrant workers seems to have lessened, but still have not reached equality.
