Abstract

This paper highlights the migration conditions of women practicing cross-border trading between Kinshasa and Brazzaville. The aim is to analyse how migratory strategies, trade obligations and love relationships articulate in these women?s career-paths. Although this women?s migration between the two cities is of a commuting type, it sometimes entails a temporary settling period in Brazzaville which requires them to do casual jobs or even ?prostitution?. Our interpretation is that, for these women, cross-border trading is an opportunity to rewrite the rules governing gender relations.
