“…However, since the post-2000 period, there has been a significant reversal of role, with Zimbabwe becoming the donor of migrants in the region.

While debates about its morality continue among states and conservatives, migration is taking place in Africa. In previous decades, migration was dominated by men.

This paper argues that migration and remittances have given birth to new rights and entitlements to daughters who were previously marginalised.
