Abstract:
In this paper, the author seeks to examine the possibility of establishing the argument
that the lack of equality towards women, irrespective of constitutional and other
guarantees, makes genuine female empowerment a distant dream3. Does female
migration establish the fact that females seek opportunities for empowerment and / or
liberalisation from their legal, cultural, societal and economic bonds? In light of the
questions raised, the paper seeks to explore whether the lack of policies for the
protection and enhancement of equality for women is what leads to unsafe or illegal
migrations that make women fall prey to human trafficking.
