This article examines the hospitality practices of pro-migrant civil society organisations in Istanbul. Drawing from qualitative interviews, we focus on intersecting gendered, professionalised and faith-based aspects of pro-migrant activities and explore the ways that politically and morally charged ambivalences of hospitality practices are articulated and negotiated. Moreover, by contextualising Turkey's religious and geopolitical particularity as a gatekeeper of Europe, we work with Derrida's concept of plural laws to investigate hospitality practices towards refugees in Istanbul. Civil actors' intentions and attempts to be good citizens, Muslims, and care providers expose the intimate aspects of hospitality - a segue into discourses of displaced subjects' (gendered) deservingness. By portraying how macro-micro, global-local and public-private relations condition hospitality practices, we observe how globalisation is lived intimately, influencing perceptions of deservingness and the prioritisation of displaced subjects' needs
