Women’s debt and (in) dependency in a migration context

Abstract

`titreb Debt and (In) Dependence of Women in Migration Contexts `/titreb Studies on the phenomenon of human trafficking usually hold women to be either total victims or, inversely, totally autonomous. Starting form ethnographic documents on various contexts of female migration, this article examines the debt incurred by immigrant women that are victim of trafficking and who are involved in prostitution. The financial and symbolic debt determines a form of servitude and/or dependency from which it is difficult to escape. This article aims to understand how a minority of these women (re)act against a price to be paid that they consider unfair and an abuse of their rights that constrains their freedom of circulation in geographical as well as social space.
