Le nouvel ordre économique néolibéral modifie la division internationale du travail, ce qui entraîne un accroissement des populations migrantes de travailleurs et de travailleuses. Actuellement, une personne sur dix dans les régions développées est migrante, et les femmes représentent la moitié de ce nombre. Longtemps, pourtant, la figure du migrant a été représentée comme masculine, en raison des représentations stéréotypées ou erronées du rôle et de la place des femmes et des hommes dans les sociétés, et les recherches ou programmes relatifs aux migrants ont ignoré la composante féminine des migrations. Or, les femmes migrent bien, elles aussi. Une grande partie des femmes migrantes – même qualifiées – travaillent dans le secteur des soins ou des emplois domestiques. Le transfert international des soins et de l’attention aux autres (care) – sorte de nouvelle matière première extraite des pays du Sud pour être consommée dans les pays riches – est un nouvel échange inégal. Les espaces où se réalise le travail des migrantes restent souvent invisibles, lieus de peu de droits. Si les discriminations et les abus sont à dénoncer, l’image de victime accolée aux migrantes et cependant loin de convenir. La trajectoire migratoire demande pugnacité et courage. Et nous pouvons nous demander s’il ne s’agit pas du départ des personnes les plus combatives de la société… Les identités se transforment dans l’expérience de la migration : comme le dit l’une d’elles, « je ne suis plus celle que j’ai laissée derrière moi ». Des réseaux transnationaux se construisent, accompagnés d’une circulation d’idées, de nouvelles représentations, de projets, de flux financiers. En 2002, les revenus du travail des migrants atteignaient 73 milliards de dollars, un montant plus élevé que celui de l’aide internationale au développement. Un nouvel ordre colonial s’instaure avec la nouvelle division internationale du travail. Mais les migrations des femmes et des hommes à travers les pratiques sociales…

"Sex, Love, and Migration goes beyond a common narrative of women's exploitation as a feature of migration in the early twenty-first century, a story that features young women from poor countries who cross borders to work in low paid and often intimate labor. Alexia Bloch argues that the mobility of women is marked not only by risks but also by personal and social transformation as migration fundamentally reshapes women's emotional worlds and aspirations. Bloch documents how, as women have crossed borders between the former Soviet Union and Turkey since the early 1990s, they have forged new forms of intimacy in their households in Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, but also in Istanbul, where they often work for years on end. Sex, Love, and Migration takes as its subject the lives of post-Soviet migrant women employed in three distinct spheres--sex work, the garment trade, and domestic work. Bloch challenges us to decouple images of women on the move from simple assumptions about danger, victimization, and trafficking. She redirects our attention to the aspirations and lives of women who, despite myriad impediments, move between global capitalist centers and their home communities"--

This book is about migration as a form of risk-taking. Based on Ukrainian women's experiences in the Polish domestic work sector, it presents a new approach to analyse movements of female migrants responding to the demand for household labour around the world. Risks involved in migration and in migrant domestic work are accounted for in detail alongside an analysis of the migration decision-making processes. This study shows how social ties and migrant institutions effectively reduce the otherwise radical asymmetry of power between an individual migrant, the state and an employer. A Risky Business? brings to light the complex risk structures of migrants' activities and their sophisticated responses to them. With their innovative strategies, migrants challenge government-imposed constraints and thus reduce the risks of migration.
