As gendered discourses around migration proliferate, research and practitioner focus is often trained on experiences of women in interpersonal capacities, primarily in regard to subjections to predominately male violence. Drawing on research in Britain and activist participation with women seeking asylum, this article expands this focus into the realm of state-corporate harms against women. Previous research demonstrates that immigration law and policy often work to minimalize autonomy at the ground level, and dependence on spousal visas or housing and finances can exacerbate dependence on men, including violent men. This article argues that this punitive landscape of Britain’s asylum system facilitates further violence against women seeking asylum, rather than ensuring protection. Moreover, harm is inflicted by the structures of coercive control set forth by the state and its amorphous relations with corporations. Such structures are largely manufactured by the British state, but increasingly enacted by its corporate allies. These environments, I argue, mirror those of domestically violent perpetrators and work to gradually corrode women’s autonomy and indeed sense of safety.

腐蚀控制：接壤英国的国企和性别伤害

随着围绕移民的性别化话语激增，研究和从业者的重点往往是针对女性在人际交往能力方面的经历进行培训的，主要是关于遭受主要是男性暴力的。借鉴英国的研究和寻求庇护妇女的积极参与，本文将这一重点扩展到国家企业对妇女的伤害领域。先前的研究表明，移民法律和政策通常会尽量减少基层的自主权，对配偶签证或住房和财务的依赖会加剧对男性的依赖，包括暴力男性。本文认为，英国庇护制度的这种惩罚性景观助长了对寻求庇护的妇女的进一步暴力，而不是确保保护。而且，国家规定的强制控制结构及其与公司的无定形关系造成了损害。这种结构主要由英国政府制造，但越来越多地由其企业盟友制定。我认为，这些环境反映了家庭暴力肇事者的环境，并逐渐侵蚀女性的自主权和安全感。
