ABSTRACT

The chapter studies the displacement as the movement of people from their place of usual residence for a variety of reasons, including forced international displacement as well as the economic migration and human trafficking. It aims to critically discuss the achievements of the feminist scholarship and advocacy upon the field of displacement with a particular focus on the feminist conceptualizations of the connections between Western and non-Western women, the colonial legacies on which these connections are built, and the power relations they foster in current displacement contexts.
