This research examines the lives of Afghan migrants in the Damgostar livestock farming complex, located in southern Tehran province. Using a qualitative approach and an ethnographic methodology, the researcher collected data through immersion in the lives of two Afghan families and a single individual employed at the dairy farm. The findings indicate that the migrants have established a parallel system through informal economic mechanisms, which rests on three main pillars: modern patron-client relationships, a resistance economy, and the reproduction of cultural capital. The study suggests that the migrants have adapted to challenging conditions through creative and selective adaptation strategies. Female migrants, in particular, play a crucial role in the development of "social capital" and participation in economic activities. Additionally, the female body is regarded as a political text—both a restricted and controlled domain and a tool for everyday resistance. Educational and health challenges for children and women, especially with regard to accessing medical services and educational opportunities, are key issues addressed in the research. Kinship networks are also vital in supporting migrants and facilitating their adaptation to new circumstances. Ultimately, the research provides policy recommendations, such as formalizing parallel economic systems and establishing mobile health centers.
