It contributes to current marriage migration debates by employing the lens of \u2018governmobility\u2019 and \u2018spatial capability\u2019. The research looks at how female migrant activists maneuver coercion, resistance, and activism, both governed by nation\u2010state politics, but also actively deciding their fate amidst pressures of the global marriage market. Based on in\u2010depth interviews with 21 Vietnamese marriage migrant women who have worked in mentoring, counselling and translating for other Vietnamese migrants, our findings demonstrate that marriage migrants are positioned in between two nation\u2010states whose perspectival focus is on relieving the tensions of their own domestic job and marital markets. At the same time, these women have broken free from the inertia of socio\u2010familial status quo and state intervention to become self\u2010governing agents of mobility in various stages of their migration and adaptation. Fueled on by their position as activists, the marriage migrants then expand their spatial capability to place\u2010making\u2014shifting the notion of freedom from simply taking part in mobility to reshaping their locale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/sjtg.12229<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim, Y. and Shin, H.
