Resumo:This article was based on qualitative interviews within the EU project Voices of Immigrant Women. It aims to reconstruct the migratory journey of the different women. In the first part of this article, we present the contradictions of France's national, regional and local integration measures for migrant women. In the second part, through the life stories of five women, we show how the so-called integration of immigrant women is promoted. Their profiles cover different generations, countries, documented/undocumented status, highly skilled/few qualified, and political participation. This part analyzes the individual strategies adopted by migrant women by recentering on the labour market issue. It underlined the high education as a tool of integration, social services and professional skills as indispensable assets for the labour market, political engagement in trade union and human rights activism as a way out of forced labour. We question the epistemological political framework that constructs the “successful” integration criteria on individual criteria. Finally, we examine that migrant womenin France are subject to a series of paradoxical injunctions, and the norms to which they must conform reveal multiple contradictions related to their origins, religions,gender, skin colors, etc. Especially in the actual political context where the migrant women are the ideal figure to illustrate tensions surrounding the question of migration and the role of women.
