Migration touches the lives of millions. For women and girls, it can provide opportunities for decent work, education, and independence-yet they also face gender-specific challenges, including discrimination, risks of violence, exploitation, and barriers to healthcare, justice, and social protection. The Migration Portal brings together knowledge, data, and tools to shed light on both the challenges migrant women face as well as the vital contributions they make, while providing practical resources to advance migration policies, programmes and services that promote gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. 

Decades of work have shown that change is possible when women's voices are centred and policies act on data and evidence. Whether advancing safe migration pathways, safeguarding rights at work, or shifting harmful narratives, this Portal offers guidance on what works and why.
