Drawing from ethnographic research, it shows how migrant women prevail in and navigate jobs that transgress this normative separation–care and sex work–resulting in their positioning as ‘intimate Others’ or ‘risky tenants’. It argues that addressing women’s predicaments requires tackling the intersecting structures of inequality moulding the conditions under which they perform and exchange labour.
