[Feminisasi migrasi memainkan peranan penting dalam perkembangan prosesmigrasi beberapa dekade terakhir. Feminisasi migrasi tidak dimaksudkan untukdipahami secara sempit sebagai meningkatnya jumlah perempuan yang bermigrasisaja, tetapi juga berubahnya pekerjaan atau kesempatan yang tersedia danmenurunnya kondisi terkait pekerjaan maupun kesempatan lain tersebut. Namun,tendensi yang terjadi dalam kajian migrasi adalah melihat feminisasi migrasisebagai suatu pergeseran tren semata. Feminisasi migrasi juga cenderungdigambarkan sebagai sesuatu yang sifatnya positif bagi perempuan. Perludipertanyakan apakah fenomena ini bermanfaat bagi perempuan sendiri, ataumalah tetap memarjinalisasi. Memandang feminisasi migrasi dari perspektiffeminis akan mampu mengungkap apakah migrasi merupakan suatu pilihan yangmemerdekakan dan memberdayakan bagi perempuan. Atau di sisi lain, migrasijustru membuat perempuan semakin terpuruk., The feminization of migration plays an important role in the development ofmigrating the past few decades. The feminization of migration is not meant to beunderstood narrowly as the increasing number of women who migrate, but also achange in jobs or opportunities available and the decreasing of work-relatedconditions and such other opportunities. However, a tendency that occurs in thestudy migration is that the feminization of migration is seen as nothing more thana shift in the migration trend. The feminization of migration also tends to beportrayed as something that has positive impacts for women. The questionremains whether this phenomenon is an empowerment for women themselves, oron the contrary, serve to marginalize them even more. Looking at thephenomenon from a feminist perspective will be able to reveal whether migrationis an option that is liberating and empowering for women. Or on the other hand,migration has made women face worse discrimination and marginalization.]
