Women and
Migration

Buy Tickets - $15
Photographers Danielle Villasana, Miora Rajaonary, and Saiyna Bashir join
photo editor Jennifer Samuel in conversation on their latest project
documenting the impact of migration on women around the globe in a major
National Geographic magazine feature and several online stories. Never
before has the world been more tightly woven and the movement of people
greater between and within continents and countries. Although COVID-19 has
slowed migration, in 2019 more than 270 million people—nearly half of them
women—were living in countries other than the one where they were born.
Drawn by the promise of a better future, women increasingly have traveled
to wealthier countries, taking jobs in child- and eldercare and domestic
work, as well as manufacturing and agriculture—a shift described as “the
feminization of migration.” For women who are forced to leave home because
of famine or violence, migration is a gamble for their very survival.
