Resumo

The research contributes to the knowledge of migrant women's experiences, specifically their stories about violence, in a context of feminization of migration and from a narrative and feminist perspective. Through the elaboration of 11 personal narratives, four types of violence were identified: violence in the private sphere, in the public space, in institutions and in memory. The narratives show women who are victims of violence, and also women who take an active role, protagonists who implement resistance strategies to become heroines of their own migration history.
