Introduction

This is a study conducted by the Mixed Migration Center, The research builds on data collected between June and October 2017 through the Mixed Migration Monitoring Mechanism Initiative (4Mi) in East Africa, West Africa, North Africa and Asia. It includes 1,062 surveys collected by 4Mi monitors in the field. The data is complemented by 29 interviews conducted in December 2017 with Afghan women and secondary literature on West and East African women. It is the first piece of research drawn from 4Mi that compares women’s migration experiences across regions. The aim of this research is as a pilot to gain a better understanding of women’s migration experiences compared across regions, their protection needs on the way, and how their journeys may or may not differ. In the past few years, the number of women known to be migrating has increased, as has recognition that they face gender-specific challenges.
