%X The aim of this article was to analyze some of the challenges posed to social intervention when working with
migrant women in the context of the Spanish southern border, focusing on documentary analysis and the discourses of
professionals who work in organizations in Andalusia, Ceuta and the Canary Islands. Using Zapata-Barrero and Ferrer-
Gallardo’s (2012) multiple concept of border as an analytical tool, we identified challenges linked to the ontological,
epistemological and ethical borders that arise in social intervention processes. Among the conclusions, we highlight how
social action, in this context, has to deal with a radical categorization between people who are expellable and dispensable
based on control policies, and those who are welcome, based on protection frameworks that tend to place the subjects
within the category of “victim”. Alongside this dichotomy, a reflection emerges on how to accompany the people with
whom we intervene as right holders and key parts of social integration models and mechanisms.
