SANTA CLARA JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

The author argues that, as migration is feminized, institutions must shift from focusing on the legality of presence and treating migrants as disposable people, to a human rights-based approach that centers migrants’ well-being. The author uses the frameworks of “glocalization” and “marginableness” in order to make visible the movement of persons that is otherwise invisible in conversations on globalization and current human rights regimes.
