Although the gender dimension of integration is often neglected in public discourse, women have recently been recognized in various strategic documents as a particularly vulnerable group within the migrant population. Traditional gender roles, discrimination, exploitation and gender-based violence are some of the obstacles they face before, during and after the migration process. Integration is a complex process in itself, and when it comes to women, it is often slower compared to the integration of men, due to various complicating factors. Motivated by these circumstances, this qualitative research seeks to gain insight into the social position of migrant and refugee women in Croatian society. Through the thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted with six participants, i.e. three members of this population and three employees of relevant civil society organizations, the challenges they face in various aspects of life, their wishes for the future, i.e. aspirations and possible ways to improve their social position were investigated. Despite the good legislative framework, there is a need to improve the Croatian integration framework and to increase gender sensitivity in order to better meet the specific needs of the female migrant population. Through a theoretical overview, the paper describes mass migrations in the context of human rights, the gender perspective of integration and the Croatian integration framework.
