      ab: This study explores the migratory experiences of 15 Cape Verdean women in Italy, aiming to analyze how migration has shaped their self-perception, personal emancipation, and relationship with the host society. We adopt a qualitative interpretative phenomenological approach to explore the gendered experiences of Cape Verdean migrant women in Italy. Through a qualitative analysis of interviews, key themes emerge, including the importance of education, the challenges posed by intersectional discrimination (based on gender and race), and the value of multiculturalism and intercultural dialogue. The narratives reveal a strong connection to their culture of origin, coupled with the ability to adapt and engage with the Italian context, constructing a new identity rooted in autonomy and resilience. The participants also highlight the crucial role of female solidarity networks as tools for support and integration. This study underscores the need for inclusive policies that recognize skills and promote the full participation of migrant women in social and professional life, contributing to greater social cohesion. Cape Verdean women emerge not only as protagonists of complex migratory paths but also as agents of change who challenge stereotypes and foster models of planetary citizenship based on universal values of justice and equality.
