The aim of this thesis is to examine female migrants’ experiences of separatist activation policies for a more inclusive labor market, and to contribute to a more nuanced and heterogeneous view on "immigrant women" in Sweden. I interviewed five women who have participated in these types of programs. The empiric material was analyzed from a social constructionist perspective and using postcolonial feminist theory. The result of this thesis is that the separatist room worked as a form of consciousness-raising. It also shows how the interviewees both identify themselves with, and disidentify themselves from a stereotypical image of “immigrant women”.
