Over the four decades of the Zimbabwean narrative, women have also been greatly impacted by the unfolding socio-economic challenges. One coping strategy by women has been to migrate to neighbouring countries, regularly or irregularly. Have they been empowered that much? The chapter locates the theme of women and empowerment in migration literature. The primary focus is to examine the indicators of women empowerment, its causes and the role of government and societal dynamics in the phenomena. Literature shows that decision making at household level, control of assets are among other metrics used to benchmark women empowerment. Factors such as conflict, migration of men as well as demand for domestic work are some of the factors stimulating migration of women resulting in their empowerment as well as disempowerment. Government and societal dynamics are also key in shaping women empowerment trajectories. Furthermore, literature shows that empowerment of women can be transitory and its outcomes can also be mixed. The chapter winds up discussions by examining the major policy implications of how migration is affecting women migrating from Zimbabwe in an attempt to also cushion themselves against the socio-economic challenges.
