This study explores a specific area of links between migration and corruption by examining the ways in which corruption affects the migration journeys of women. It finds that women are especially vulnerable to atypical forms of corruption, including sexual extortion (sextortion) when their financial capital is limited. The study provides policy recommendations for the country of origin, transit and destination both in the realm of anti-corruption as well as women’s empowerment and concludes with suggestions for further research.
