This paper, based on an investigation about the practices of humanitarian, juridical and legal accompaniment of persons in different situations of mobility in Mexico, aims to analyze different strategies through which three Mexican feminist organizations pretend to enhance the visibility of migrant women, as a group with specific needs, with accompaniment practices aimed at empowering them in their interactions with government agencies, but also their families and partners. I hope that these empirically based reflections contribute, on the one hand, to increasingly precise analytical descriptions regarding the "specifically feminist" of certain accompaniment practices and promotion of the human right to safe migration. On the other hand, that they contribute to clarify what the basic social and symbolic conditions would be so that women in situation of displacement can participate more in the collective definition of their needs and demands.
