Empowerment is a concept that is hardly used in the field of migration. However, this approach, which is based on participation, promotion of experiential knowledge, peer support, strengthening through exchange with others who have experienced similar difficulties, and change by and with the communities affected, is particularly relevant to an understanding of the migration experiences of immigrants in precarious situations, dealing with the difficulties of exile and arrival in a new country. This article aims to show how empowerment is a useful concept for designing and implementing interventions and research aimed at immigrants, provided that it is used in all of its dimensions, including the collective dimension based on social participation. After reviewing the history and the contours of this concept, its possible drifts and the importance of its collective and participatory dimension, the article analyses, using examples from the field of health promotion, how the participation of immigrants in programmes and research concerning them makes it possible to activate this empowerment.
