This joint policy brief by UN Women and Oxfam explores how narratives about migrant women are shaped and why they matter. Using the Stereotype Content Model, it examines how public perceptions — from pity to admiration or contempt — influence visibility, rights, and well‑being. The brief highlights harmful frames across contexts and offers practical guidance for governments, media, and civil society to reshape narratives through gender‑responsive, human‑rights‑based storytelling.
