This paper aims to identify the violence suffered by carrier women at the borders between Spain and Morocco. Since 2015, the situation of carrier women has been worsening due to a multiplicity of structural factors at the borders. As a result of these circumstances, changes were initiated in the portering circuit that led to the opening of a new border crossing in Ceuta specialized in merchandise and an extreme precariousness of the working and security conditions of the porters. Since 2016, at least 8 women porters have died in the development of their work activity. The methodology was qualitative. The production technique was ethnography and in-depth interview. The data analysis technique has been the discourse analysis.
