This study was conceptualized, designed and implemented before the xenophobic attacks of May 2008 in recognition of the fact that xenophobia was a particular form of gender-based violence which was ongoing and pernicious but had been afforded scant attention in the past. The main objective of this study was to explore the gendered nature of xenophobia in South Africa and the impact of such xenophobia on migrant women.
