ship of the Republic of Slovenia. Migrants from Bosnia and Herzegovina and
Serbia predominate among them. For those migrant women who came in recent
times, most often to their husbands who are employed in Slovenia, it is primarily
a matter of family reunification. Among these women, there are most of those
who came from the area of Kosovo and Macedonia, as well as Bosnia and Herze-
govina. In Slovenia, the latter face legislative barriers to employment as well as
restrictions within family circles. In the integration and economic context, there is
an obvious need to increase the visibility of migrant women in the public sphere.
Women’s migration has also become a hot topic of everyday political, media, ed-
ucational, health and scientific discourse, especially among those who are in di-
rect contact with them – healthcare professionals, social services, schools, media,
politicians, and above all ‘ordinary’ people.
Key words: social integration, migration, migrant women
