This article analyzes the impact of transnational mobility on the sexual practices of migrant women. It is done from a feminist perspective, reviewing kinship, sexuality and gender inequalities that are embedded in certain circles of society and assigned dichotomously to men and women, almost always to the detriment of the latter. Based on the ethnography of families and social networks linked to migration, it shows, on the one hand, the auto-ethnographic process that triggered the analysis of changes in sexual practices of women in heterosexual couples as a result of migration and, on the other, how ethnography enables us to reflect on sexuality in the field of migration.
