Sex work is highly stigmatized. The discourses that are generated around it
build negative categories and representations of women, while these discourses are alien to
the local context where they are performed. In the following work we intend to approach the
transborder zone (Catalonia-France) to explore how this place relates to the phenomenon of
prostitution and sex work. Our exploration is a first ethnographic attempt where the complexity
and difficulty of addressing the quotidian micro spaces of women's lives is already significant.
We find ourselves with the stigma and control of information in the spaces that these women
frequent. This implies a vulnerability in their lives, although it also reflects certain mechanisms
in which the agency of these women expresses, such as their ability to generate benefits and
their knowledge and strategies developed around sex work
