'It hurts my heart': Afghan women in London negotiating family relationships and (im)mobility regimes across borders by Ryan, Louise, López, María E., Rasa, Mursal

“…Paying attention to the specificities of spatial contexts and infrastructures in framing opportunities and obstacles to transnational care, we apply the concept of immobility regimes. Beyond a simple bi‐national focus on countries of origin and residence, we explore how the women navigate these regimes, across multiple countries and different visa regimes to arrange in‐person visits with geographically dispersed kin. …”
