Abstract

How ought we respond to the multitude of injustices migrants experience every day? I  suggest that the answer to this question is to apply a feminist approach to migration justice. In general, such an approach maintains that migration justice is fundamentally about identifying and resisting oppression against migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, displaced persons, and others affected by such policies. As such, evaluating the extent to which policies, practices, and norms related to migration are just requires asking how they do (or do not) create, perpetuate and/or reflect oppression. In other words, any time a migration policy, practice, or norm—including border policies and practices and norms involved in the enforcement—is oppressive, it is unjust. This article will elaborate and explain this proposal.
