THE FEMINIZATION OF MIGRATORY FLOWS AND GENDER VULNERABILITIES

International migrations have several fields of analysis because it is a multidisciplinary theme, so that contemporary studies should expand the scope of research considering multiple perspectives beyond data collection. Issues related to the problems of development and infrastructure in the countries and conflicts of different orders are the main factors of population repulsion. The nature of the flows currently operates in a south-north direction continuously, mainly to western countries. It is possible to observe a progressive increase in women among the displaced population, whose overlapping vulnerabilities condition a phenomenon that deserves different treatment. It is intended to look again at migratory movements, especially the flow of women for various reasons and their displacement by different routes. In their travels, they are vulnerable to gender-exclusive vulnerabilities that overlap with the condition of a migrant at the moment when the number of migrant women becomes more potent. The vulnerabilities present in the origin, transit, and destination are sheltered by patriarchal cultures, added to religious, ethnic, and economic issues that hinder access to recognition or inclusion policies. Migration theories that address only the issues of origin and destination are no longer effective in explaining these issues since traffic is constant or multiple and destinations are triangulated.
