Abstract

Migrations “Represent a change in permanent residence , often of a year or more in duration, and it involves a geographical move that croses a political boundary”. There are two common forms: international and internal migrations.(Turner 2006: 384). Gender dimension of migrations involves gender vs. migration interpolation focusing onto the statistic about male vs.female migrants in the world migrations. Even though there are cases where the feminisation of migrations is evidant, there is also masculinisation of migration especially in single cases of internal migrations.
