By granting qualities considered feminine to everything that is not a reflection of the idea of ​​the Western nation-state, it has been possible to justify processes of subordination, oppression and management of certain realities, including international migration, especially irregular migration. Currently, the "feminization of the other" is no longer considered only in terms of relations between States, as in classical theoretical discussions, other non-traditional international actors are also present (International Organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations). This paper aims to discuss, from feminist criticism and the gender approach to International Relations, How States and dominant actors in international relations, appealing to the supposed gender neutrality of the discipline, occupy the western gender dichotomy to justify the management of irregular migration. Among the conclusions, it stands out that the justification of the existence of the "feminized other" legitimates a right to humanitarian intervention. Pese a que las Relaciones Internacionales (RRII) llegaron tarde al feminismo, su encuentro evidenció cómo el sistema de género occidental, basado en la dicotomía masculino-Estado occidental/femenino-Estado no occidental, ha permitido la “feminización del otro” en la esfera internacional. Al otorgar cualidades consideradas femeninas a todo aquello que no es reflejo de la idea de Estado-nación occidental, se han podido justificar procesos de subordinación, opresión y gestión de ciertas realidades, entre estas, la migración internacional, sobre todo la irregularizada. En la actualidad, la “feminización del otro” ya no solo se plantea en términos de relaciones entre Estados, como se hacía en las discusiones teóricas más clásicas, también entran en juego otros actores internacionales no tradicionales (Organismos Internacionales y Organizaciones No Gubernamentales). El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo discutir, desde las críticas feministas y el enfoque de género de las Relaciones Internacionales, cómo Estados y actores dominantes en las relaciones internacionales, apelando a la supuesta neutralidad de género de la disciplina, ocupan la dicotomía de género occidental para justificar la gestión de la migración irregularizada. Entre los hallazgos destaca que, bajo la justificación de la existencia del “otro feminizado”, se está fabricando el “derecho a la intervención humanitaria” de la migración irregularizada.
