Abstract: Why are female migrants rarely attacked in “Sons of the Soil” (SoS) violence? Based on interviews with key stakeholders in Indonesia and China, we argue that women are shielded from the brunt of migration-related violence due to gendered patterns of migration and economic integration that highlights the positive contributions of female migration to the host region while drawing attention to the threat posed by male migration. By bringing together the literature on migration, gender, inequalities, and conflict, this article makes a foray into the previously unexamined dynamics affecting victimization patterns in armed conflict in general and SoS conflict in particular.
