“…Similarly, our findings indicated that those who had deportation experience were more likely to have received healthcare in the previous 12-months and more likely to have needed care but not receive it. The deleterious effect of deportation on health has been noted in other research [ 20 , 21 ]. It is likely that persons who have deportation experience have more healthcare needs resulting in receiving care more often, and because of this increased need, needing care but not receiving it as well.…”

The return of a migrant partner can negatively impact the sexual health of women who stayed in their communities. Understanding their sexual health needs is crucial for developing targeted interventions and support systems. Our study used a critical ethnographic approach in Agua Dulce, a rural community in Mexico, involving 50 key informants: women who stayed behind (n = 20), returnees (n = 12), community leaders (n = 12), and health care professionals (n = 6). We used participant observation, policy analysis, and interviews, using purposeful and snowball sampling methods. A gender-based thematic analysis revealed economic hardships and early separations affect the sexual well-being of women who stay behind. Infidelity, discovered through social media or calls, causes emotional distress and family disruptions. Male migrants spend an average of 8.85 years abroad, leading to fears of risky sexual behaviors. Our study highlights the urgent need for specialized support centers and comprehensive health interventions.
