This article addresses the issue of female migration, which has been gaining in topicality and pertinence in recent years. Women leave for various reasons, but issues related to family relationships remain very present. We have showcased here the different levels of expression of migratory motivation. Then, once in the host country, the workplace becomes a significant if not pivotal element of the migrant’s dignity and her place in the society in which she lives. This aspect is subsequently elaborated on in the article. Motherhood, with what this phase represents in a migratory context, and the importance of the 4Ss of parenting become the further focal point. The role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in international contacts and the bonds that migrant women maintain with their families back home will also be analysed. In this paper, we will use a series of clinical situations to illustrate our points.
