Working Across Sectors
WIMN understands that migration is a reality that cuts across feminist, labor, LGBTQI, racial justice, disability rights, land and food sovereignty, development justice, climate justice, tax justice, trade justice, peace & security, democratic rights, social, economic and cultural human rights, and more. An inter-sectoral approach to movement-building is essential.
Women in migration, including migrant women, live at the nexus of many of these struggles, and are well positioned to understand the connections between issues and movements and to build bridges and linked agendas across movements. They are a critical connector for intersectional feminist movement building.
Our membership reflects the diverse alliances we build across sectors (Labor, Climate, Feminist, Migration, Development) to build movement and seek systemic change in holistic, integrated ways.

Our Throughlines
While multiple factors drive migration and impact migrants, WIMN has focused on three priority throughlines in our organizing and advocacy: Climate Change, Labor Rights, and Regularization. Here are some examples of how our work Working Across Sectors intersects with and impacts these throughlines.
