Abstract
This chapter talks about women refugees and asylum seekers. It begins with a discussion of women who claim asylum and the gender-biased asylum policy. The chapter then moves on to the various research conducted on women refugees and asylum seekers. The migration–trafficking nexus is introduced, and research on refugee and asylum-seeking women is presented in detail. The chapter also highlights the possibility of a gender-sensitive asylum system.
