Women in Migration in West Africa: a Future of Emancipation?. This article deals with female cross-border migration in West Africa. It is based on a research project on women migration (2020-2021), coordinated by the Réseau d’Étude des Migrations internationales africaines (REMIGRAF), of the Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar. It highlights some results of the research, such as the specificity of the needs, the choices and strategies of women migrants, the adaptive and vulnerability factors, useful to local and regional (i.e. ECOWAS) sustainable public policies.
