Abstract

Being a woman within migration flows is particularly challenging. The risks of possible
victimization are severalfold – both from the point of view of a migrant's position, and
from the perspective of gender. Their increased vulnerability to gender-based violence
derives not only from the intersecting and multiple forms of discrimination they face, but
also as a result of structural and gender inequalities, including a lack of access to safe
and regular migration pathways. Hence, this paper aims to shed light on migrant women
and girls who have heightened chances of facing gender-based violence in order to make
an overview of all forms and ways in which women and girls within the framework of
migration flows can and do suffer violence, tackling which human rights are violated,
and which are the ways for joint protection and cooperation for the protection of the
rights of female migrants from gender-based violence. Additionally, the paper intends to
emphasize the good practices in this direction, by analizing the newest acts that are
brought by international stakeholders in order to prevent and suppress this kind of actus
reus while also pointing out the shortcomings on a global and European level that must
be overcome
