What is more, the women also don’t create any particular group or category in the waves of imigrants who pour in UE. The text and its title should rather serve as a pretext to further discussion about present flows in the new waves of refugee. The text should also help to put some information in order. It allowes deeper understand why the phenomenon of feminization the migration is a natural concomitant for all waves of migration in XXI century. Moreover, some information can explain why the women’s migration has a significant influence on European society. The feminization of the migration is also a clear sight of modern changes and a obvious proof of transformation women’s position in the world.
