With a focus on women’s agency, Susanne Åsman provides an ethnographic account of how Tamang women and men in the Sindhupalchowk district, defined as severely affected by sex trafficking, understand what they describe as Bombay going or migration for sex work.

Susanne Åsman's compelling ethnographic account examines migration for sex work in the Sindhupalchowk district of Nepal. Åsman explores how this migration, known as "Bombay Going," is understood by the locals. With a focus on agency, Åsman investigates how the migrants carve out a space for themselves and create relatedness in the spaces in between, from their homes in rural Nepal to the brothels of Mumbai. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of sex trafficking, gender, migration, or the global south.

Susanne Åsman is postdoctoral researcher and lecturer in the School of Global Studies at Gothenburg University and guest researcher in the Department of Anthropology at Cornell University and affiliated with the Department of International Relations at Tribhuwan University.
