dc.description.abstractThis paper demonstrates how the social construction of gender shapes women's migration choices and post-migration experience using the example of Ugandan women migrants in Istanbul, T & uuml;rkiye. Building on an ethnographic case study, we reveal how Ugandan women negotiate and find agency within oppressive structures that force them into debt, into illegality, and limit their opportunities for safe and dignified work. Our discussion critiques international regulations - the Palermo Protocol - and local structures including the Istanbul Police and Turkish policy on migration and prostitution. We show the complexity of relationships that impact women's lives and show how institutions fail to protect women leaving them vulnerable to harassment and sexual violence. We reflect on the experience of women of colour in Istanbul, simultaneously visible on the street yet invisible in voice and agency. Our work highlights the importance of an intersectional lens in the study of migration, il/legality, workplace abuse and trafficking into prostitution. It has broad implications for understanding how gender, class and racialization define migrants' options for mobility and self-determination.en_US
