Abstract: In the study of migration and gender, the migration of women across various regions has emerged as an important field of study. This paper examines the dynamics of interregional migration among women, focusing on how mobility shapes community bonding and social contacts. Using qualitative and descriptive research methods, including group discussions with migrant women and analysis of migration patterns, the study explores the socio-economic, cultural, and emotional dimensions of women’s migration experiences. Findings indicate that women’s migration is influenced not only by economic necessity but also by aspirations for social autonomy, education, and family improvement. Importantly, the study highlights how migrant women actively create, maintain, and transform community bonds in new regions through social structures, collective cultural practices, and informal support systems. These community bonds play a vital role in mitigating migration-related difficulties such as inequality, discrimination, and economic insecurity. Furthermore, the research identifies genderbased challenges women face during mobility, including safety concerns, labor market inequalities, and family responsibilities. By examining the interaction of gender, mobility, and social structure, this paper contributes to a nuanced understanding of women’s migration experiences. These findings will be effective for policymakers, civil society organizations, and urban planners in designing inclusive programs and support systems that recognize women’s roles as active factors in shaping inter-regional migration dynamics and sustaining community integration. Ultimately, the study emphasizes that women’s mobility is both an individual and collective strategy for female empowerment and social integration.
