In both academic and public discourses, migration is widely understood as a strategy for upward mobility in Bangladesh. While West Asian destinations are framed as sites of temporary labour migration, many Bangladeshis reside there for decades, raising families. Focusing on Bangladeshi women migrants in Qatar who migrate as dependents rather than workers, this chapter examines their strategies of homemaking and belonging. Prevailing scholarship suggests that citizenship and legal permanent residency are prerequisites for migrants to develop a sense of home in their destinations. However, ethnographic fieldwork conducted for this study reveals that these women cultivate a sense of belonging despite lacking such entitlements. Comparing their experiences with Bangladeshi women in the United States (specifically in Phoenix, Arizona), the study problematises the assumed link between citizenship and belonging, arguing instead that ethnic and religious networks, combined with comfort and safety, crucially shape migrants’ capacities to establish home and belonging.
