ABSTRACT
The securitisation of migration, rooted in policies and practices of deterrence and exclusion, has important potential impacts on the health and well-being of migrants at every stage of their journey. These impacts are often experienced most profoundly by those who exist at the intersection of multiple determinants of vulnerability, including gender, race/ethnicity, and social class. Drawing on insights from the field of feminist security studies, this chapter interrogates the gendered impacts of securitisation on the health and well-being of migrants, traced through various sites of a migrant’s potential journey, including in transit, on arrival in the host country, and in the context of detention.
