Investigating gender relations in Algeria brought the author back to the place where she had spent her childhood, on the outskirts of Algiers, between 2014 and 2016. On this familiar ground, she did an ethnographic study on the movement of female bodies when leaving domestic spaces. Sharing gender constraints with the subjects of her study in the domestic space, as well as experiencing harassment outside the domestic spaces, set the conditions for her involvement as a researcher. This field practice allowed her to co-produce a situated, embodied knowledge that rendered forms of agency and of spatial and social resistance intelligible.
