The article focused on women's narratives, from their role as partners and daughters accompanying male migrant day laborers engaged in sugarcane cutting. The objective was to explore masculinity practices concerning discrimination, work, partnership, and paternity; during their stay in the migrant shelter in Colima, Mexico. The method was qualitative. The data collection techniques were: focused interview based on an interview script and participant observation in the migrant shelter through the systematic recording of the field diary. The participants were seven women between 20 and 35 years of age. For the data analysis, we elaborated the following categories: characterization of the context and the migrant day laborers, discrimination, work, partnership, and paternity. The results show discrimination that migrant day laborers are subject to by the host community since they belong to indigenous, migrant, and impoverished peoples. In addition, they point out how social structures construct masculinity practices involving the malleability of their bodies to adjust to social norms of gender, race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status, being regarded as "destined" to strenuous physical labor and resistant to long working hours, which is related to the fact that they are perceived as absent figures such as partners and fathers in the family dynamics.
