Abstract
This chapter analyses how the desire for citizenship is at the heart of the women’s consent and explains the powerful influence that their employers exert over them. The women’s own words reveal that the employers’ power to put them to work and keep them at work is not exclusively based on their contracts. Indeed, this power is considerably heightened by the hopes that the women build up for obtaining legal residency papers.
