These migrants challenge the myth of migration that migration is quintessentially a male-dominated space where women are largely represented as dependents. The moot point of this paper is to explore their cases within the larger context of gender-migration nexus and break this myth. As a women-driven immigrant community, the nurses from Kerala offer a perspectival shift in terms of understanding heteronormative structures within migrant households and outside, including adjustments in gender-roles and gender-based performances.  Through this paper we argue that heteronormativity is often replaced by transnational patriarchy, because diaspora formation, similar to nation-building, is a patriarchal process.</p>"}],"publication_status":"published","type_old":["journalArticle","journalarticle","journal_article"],"related_material":{"link":[{"url":"https://journals.tplondon.com/md/article/view/3066/2563","relation":"confirmation"}]},"volume":2,"date_updated":"2025-03-26T11:37:44Z","year":"2023"}
