Abstract
Parallel to the change in the position and role of women, the geographical mobility and independent migration of women has grown significantly in recent years. This phenomenon has unknown dimensions and consequences, especially from the point of view of immigrant women themselves.Our goal of this research is to understand the contexts and consequences of independent migration of young girls.This research was carried out with a qualitative approach and grounded theory method. we collected data through semi-structured interviews with 18 young women who immigrated to Yazd alone. The selection of participants was done by purposeful and snowball sampling.After the implementation, we analyzed the data using the Codding in grounded theory.The result of the analysis is presented in the form of 7 main categories, a central category and a grounded theory theoretical model.The main categories are preference for strangeness, job/financial securance, taste for independent living, family pressure and control, collapse of negative mentality from immigration, distance from the host community and housing impasse. The construction of split-identity was also made as central category .The findings showed that the unstable life at the origin with the split life at the destination has led to the formation of a divided identity among the participants.Parallel to the change in the position and role of women, the geographical mobility and independent migration of women has grown significantly in recent years.
