Abstract [en]

The thesis investigates the experiences of migrant women in Sweden, it focuses on the significant Human Rights abuses that feminist legal theory and transnational feminism can explain through the lens of feminism. Using qualitative research methods, including interviews, the study identifies numerous barriers that women with migrant status encounter, these include violations of their rights to equality, freedom from violence, employment, and the basic requirements of living. The investigation demonstrates the value of cultural awareness and formalized questions to comprehend these women’s experiences in detail. The results indicate a widespread tendency to perceive people differently and suggest that more inclusive and intersectional approaches to Human Rights should be advocated, legal changes should be implemented and tailored support should be provided. The investigation’s findings are proposed and recommended as further research, the purpose of which is to contribute to a more equal society for women in migration in Sweden.
