This paper analyses the experiences of Paraguayan migrant women in Greater La Plata, Argentina, from the Intersectional Feminist Theory. Through in-depth interviews with nine Paraguayan migrant women, this study analyses how the intersecting factors influence and shape the realities of these women. The analysed factors are gender dynamics, economic vulnerability, low levels of education, precarious employments, dependence on social assistance, linguistic discrimination and xenophobia. Furthermore, considering the unique socioeconomic uncertainties that occurred in Argentina at the time of the interviews and the already vulnerable position the Paraguayan migrant women find themselves in, this paper also analyses their adaptation strategies. This study thus contributes to the field by providing a holistic perspective of the multilayered factors that contribute to the discrimination, oppression and marginalization of Paraguayan migrant women in Argentina.
