The article presents how gender-specific control is structured on different levels: at the level of national imagination; at the level of the mechanisms of the preservation of the traditional division of gender roles; and at the level of public discourses and cultural presentations. However, the main aim of the article is to overcome the dominant understanding and treatment of women migrants as victims of control mechanisms and migration policy. It presents some parallels between past and contemporary ways of control of control that are actively performed by women migrants as the actors in individual migration processes. By choosing strategies of survival and improvement of ways of life in the migration context, their agency and inventiveness overcome, resist and exploit the control mechanisms of migration for their own benefit.Članek predstavi, kako je v primeru ženskih migracij nadzor spolno obeležen in kako se strukturira na različnih ravneh: na ravni nacionalne imaginacije; mehanizmov ohranjanja tradicionalne delitve spolnih vlog; javnih diskurzov in kulturnih prezentacij. Osrednji namen članka pa je usmerjen v preseganje prevladujočega razumevanja in obravnavanja migrantk kot žrtev nadzornih mehanizmov in migracijskih politik. Predstavi nekatere vzporednice med preteklimi in sodobnimi načini nadzora nad nadzorom, ki ga migrantke kot dejavne akterke individualnih migracijskih procesov aktivno izvajajo tako, da izberejo strategije preživetja in izboljšanja življenja znotraj konteksta migracij, aktivno ter avtonomno delujejo in izumljajo načine preseganja in izkoriščanja nadzornih mehanizmov nad migracijami v svojo korist
