The findings presented in this synthesis paper concern the Legal Module of CARIM transversal research on Gender and Migration, and are based on information and considerations found in the national papers from Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Mali, Morocco, Mauritania, Niger, Palestine, Senegal, Sudan, Syria and Tunisia. The research aimed to assess the impact of the legal factor in women’s migration. The national papers clearly show that legal provisions specifically concerning migrant women are extremely rare ; legal provisions, concerning women in general which are likely to have some specific effect on migrant women, are numerous ; and legal provisions which are apparently gender blind but actually affect women, and more specifically migrant women, are innumerable. Neither legislators nor officials charged with the implementation of laws take gender into consideration enough. Nevertheless, the adoption of a sensible approach to the potential effects of the law on the condition of migrant women, as well as a careful consideration of the implementation of legal provisions, are powerful elements that might greatly improve the conditions of migrant women and the rights of migrants in general

Abstract
The findings presented in this synthesis paper concern the Legal Module of CARIM transversal research on Gender and Migration, and are based on information and considerations found in the national papers from Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Mali, Morocco, Mauritania, Niger, Palestine, Senegal, Sudan, Syria and Tunisia. The research aimed to assess the impact of the legal factor in women’s migration. The national papers clearly show that legal provisions specifically concerning migrant women are extremely rare ; legal provisions, concerning women in general which are likely to have some specific effect on migrant women, are numerous ; and legal provisions which are apparently gender blind but actually affect women, and more specifically migrant women, are innumerable. Neither legislators nor officials charged with the implementation of laws take gender into consideration enough. Nevertheless, the adoption of a sensible approach to the potential effects of the law on the condition of migrant women, as well as a careful consideration of the implementation of legal provisions, are powerful elements that might greatly improve the conditions of migrant women and the rights of migrants in general
