Abstract [en]

From the perspective of intersectional feminism and postcolonialism, this thesis examines gendered violence among Sahelian migrant women and reviews the historical and structural factors underpinning gendered violence. Using qualitative methods such as semi-structured interviews, it develops an understanding of the dynamics and challenges faced by these women, considering how race, identity, class and ethnicity intersect to perpetuate violence. The study looks at the complexity of gender-based violence, analysing its interaction with wider socio-political dynamics. By highlighting these intersections, the research aims to inform more inclusive approaches to addressing gender-based violence and promoting the rights of Sahelian migrant women.
