Full textThis study explored female refugees’ perceptions and life experiences at the Za’atari Camp in Jordan. While the study explored challenges and difficulties refugee women have endured while living in the camp, emphasis was placed on how they faced these challenges, coping mechanisms used for overcoming and enduring such circumstances, and what new life roles they had to assume. Utilizing Schweitzer, Greenslade, and Kagee’s (2007) model, this study explored, through qualitative phenomenological methods, the tenacity, resilience, and strength that empowered refugee women throughout their experiences in the camp. In-depth interviews were the main method of data collection. Forty-three face-to-face interviews were conducted on camp premises during the summer of 2015. The data was analyzed according to the Interpretive Phenomenological Analytic (IPA) guidelines.
The findings of this study revealed the female refugees of the Za’atari Camp were not passive in dealing with their adversities. They showed resilience, tenacity, and resourcefulness when coping with life in the settlement. Their resilience is seen through their determination to provide for their families and normalize their lives inside the camp. Additionally, female refugees employed different coping mechanisms for maintaining their psychological well-being such as religiosity, seeking social support and networking, and self-empowerment.
The findings also indicated children’s education in the camp continues to be an area of concern for a majority of refugees despite their understanding of the importance of education for their children’s survival. Due to the widespread notion the camp’s education was not accredited in Syria, and their beliefs of the temporariness of their encampment, children were left to their own accord in deciding whether to attend school or not.
The results of this study challenged the “Dependency Syndrome” myth which postulate refugees tend to become dependent on humanitarian aid and unable to fend for themselves. On the contrary, many become strong, independent and assertive. In the end, they came to see themselves differently which brought a new level of understanding of themselves and their abilities.

Full textThis thesis evaluates the Community Health Worker (CHW) program using both quantitative and qualitative methods. An initial literature review attempts to ascertain the current quality of evidence provided by published studies of CHW effectiveness to date (Medline 1983-1994). A quantitative study, undertaken by this author in 1990 in Afghan refugee villages in Pakistan, evaluates CHW effectiveness in health promotion using two knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) questionnaires (N = 600). The results of this study are then discussed and interpreted with additional qualitative and secondary data collected in the same study area in 1994. Determinants of female community health worker (FCHW) effectiveness are examined by looking more closely at the relationship between the female CHW and both the community and the local health system.

Full textIn 1890 in Liverpool the City Council ordered the shutting of brothels and “immoral” houses, which led hundreds of women to become homeless. Some new organisations were set up in addition to the existent charities managing reform institutions for women in order to find solutions to this critical situation. All of them maintained that they could “rescue” these women by locking them up in their women-only homes or refuges. Founded in 1809, the Female Penitentiary aimed to transform its inmates into “respectable” maid-servants through penitence for two years. The House of Help, a women’s organisation created in 1890, accommodated women for a week. In the Saint Saviour’s Refuge and Night Shelter, established in 1891 and run by the Catholic congregation of the Poor Servants of the Mother of God, Catholic women were either fed and lodged for the night in the Night Shelter or trained to become laundresses for a year in the Refuge. The present work examines the various facets of the work performed by these three charities and compares their capacity to understand the stakes with which they were confronted from 1890 to 1914. Set in the political, social, cultural and religious context of Liverpool, this study reveals the essential contribution of women to the definition of the mission of organisations for women. It shows how female organisers, facing the forms of discrimination which characterised the society in which they lived, adapted the work of charities and initiated the transition from philanthropy to social work in the city at the beginning of the twentieth century

Full textO leste da República Democrática do Congo é uma região, extremamente, conflituosa, por esta razão, inúmeros habitantes são forçados a deixar suas casas, buscando refúgio, muitas vezes, em locais distantes como o Brasil. As mulheres, que têm chegado em maioria, são, frequentemente, acompanhadas apenas de seus filhos. Elas experimentam de forma distinta a guerra e o refúgio. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo compreender a experiência das congolesas durante o deslocamento (saída, trânsito, chegada e instalação). Assim, é analisado as identidades de gênero, vivências, escolhas e estratégias utilizadas por elas ao longo do percurso. Ainda, é verificado se as mulheres apresentaram agência, se empoderaram e se houve transformação social nesta comunidade. A metodologia adotada foi qualitativa, havendo sido realizada uma revisão bibliográfica e uma pesquisa de recolha de dados, por meio, da observação, da observação participante e de entrevistas com congolesas nos espaços da Cáritas RJ e da Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro. As conclusões foram que todas as entrevistadas do leste da RDC apresentaram agência em algum momento de seus trajetos, a maioria revelou mudanças em suas identidades de gênero e algumas se empoderaram. Contudo, não foi verificado transformação social na comunidade congolesa no Rio de Janeiro.
The East of the Democratic Republic of Congo is an extremely conflictive region, for this reason, countless inhabitants are forced to leave their homes, often seeking refuge in distant places as Brazil. Women, who have arrived in the majority, are often accompanied only by their children. They experience war and displacement in different ways. This dissertation aims to understand Congolese’s experience during the displacement (exit, transit, arrival and installation). Thus, are analyzed the gender identities, stories related, choices and strategies used by them along the way. Also, it is verified if the women presented agency, if they were empowered and if there was social transformation in this community. The methodology adopted was qualitative, having been done a bibliographical review and a data collection research by observation, participant observation and interviews with Congolese at Cáritas RJ and at Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro. The conclusions were that all interviewees from the eastern DRC presented agency at some moment in their path, most of them revealed changes in their gender identities and some of them became empowered. However, there was not verified social transformation in the Congolese community in Rio de Janeiro.

Full textMore than sixty years after its adoption, the Geneva Convention counts 145 States ascontracting Parties. This universal legal instrument on refugee’s status represents the lex specialis ofinternational refugee Law. Who can be a refugee? What can be his level of protection? These questionsare particularly relevant under the influence of the increasing population flows, the multiples crises andthe fight against terrorism. The current context of the Convention’s application is different than the one ofits adoption. And due to its general provisions, this Convention needs to be interpreted in order to beapplied. However, there is no sole interpreter. The States, the United Nations High Commissioner forRefugees and the International Court of Justice are indeed the official interpreters, but not the only onesensuring this mission. Not only the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons andthe National Court of Asylum play an important role in this matter, but the European Court of HumanRights and the Court of Justice of the European Union also play an expanding role. This multiplicity ofinterpreters can induce a variety of interpretations. Nevertheless, a divergent interpretation can affect thereadability and the visibility of the Convention as a refugee defining and protective legal instrument. Thepresent study constitutes an analysis of the interpreters’ contribution to the Convention’s developments. Inthis perspective, the overgrowth of European and International Human Rights Law instrument and thecomplexity of forced migration are ineluctable feature, taken into account by the interpreters, to clarify themeaning and the scope of the Convention

Full textDie vorliegende Arbeit – Die Integration geflüchteter Frauen in Deutschland: Sichtweisen der Betroffenen und eine Analyse der Integrationspolitik des Bundes und ausgewählter Bundesländer und Städte zwischen 1998 und 2019 – analysiert qualitativ die Integrationspolitik Deutschlands bezüglich geflüchteter Frauen. Neben der Bundesebene wurden für eine Analyse auf Landesebene Nordrhein-Westfalen, Bayern und Sachsen-Anhalt sowie auf kommunaler Ebene Köln, Würzburg und Magdeburg beispielhaft untersucht. Durch diesen Vergleich von Gesetzen, Richtlinien und Programmen wird die Frage beantwortet, wie anerkannte geflüchtete Frauen und deren Perspektive bei der Ausgestaltung von Integrationsstrategien berücksichtigt werden. Die Analyse wird vervollständigt durch die Ergebnisse von Interviews mit anerkannten geflüchteten Frauen in den untersuchten Städten und Bundesländern. Dadurch wird die Frage beantwortet, wie die Betroffenen selbst ihren Integrationserfolg und ihre derzeitige Situation einschätzen. Durch einen Vergleich der Ergebnisse der Analyse der Integrationspolitik und der Ergebnisse der Interviews wird dann eine Einschätzung ermöglicht, inwiefern die Ansätze der Integrationspolitik tatsächlich den Bedürfnissen der Zielgruppe entsprechen, ob sie effektiv sind oder welche Schwierigkeiten sie den Betroffenen bereiten können. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, erste Einblicke zu gewinnen darüber, wie ziel- oder irreführend die bisherigen Ansätze und Richtlinien für die Integration anerkannter geflüchteter Frauen sind. Darauf aufbauend könnten folgende Studien sich verstärkt mit dem Thema beschäftigen, um letztendlich konkrete Vorschläge für eine effektivere Integrationspolitik hervorbringen zu können

Full textThe Israeli-Palestinian conflict has lasted more than 60 years and persists not only in time but also in complexity. This thesis focuses on the Palestinian exile and particularly, the experience of exile of Palestinian women living in refugee camps in Lebanon. Palestinian memory has for a long time been occulted in the literature and specifically, the experience of women and how their stories are constructed by gender. The present study is therefore in a line of work that gives a place to these “silent voices” that are often those of the Palestinian women of the camps. This research is based on a qualitative methodology – life stories and participant observation –, research that took place between 2009 and 2011 in the refugee camp of Bourj El Barajneh in Lebanon. The results show that, in exile, a part of the Palestinian nakba experienced by women, has been lost. That said, if a virtual absence of women characterizes the exodus, over exile, women become more assertive. During the first two decades in exile in Lebanon, women appear as “everyday resistant”. Then, the rise of a national sentiment which was rapidly followed by the outbreak of the Lebanese civil war, made women more and more present in the public space. Indeed, in wartime, all the women were involved in the community’s survival, and that, by an extension of their domestic and social roles. The longer the conflict lasts, the more diverse are their activities: it includes other tasks than those traditionally assigned to them. At the end of the conflict, a large part of Palestinian women are beginning to distance themselves from the national struggle. For many, the end of the war also means the end of illusions: they feel they have been abandoned by the political class. Thus, if the Palestinian nationalist movement has certainly brought changes in gender roles, it has failed to bring about lasting changes. Also, in the women's narratives, we see that in time, a bond is created with the space “Bourj El Barajneh camp”, a, bond that is located in a tension between two poles. First, there is a “real pole” where the camp appears as unsafe and unstable. Second, life in the camp is so precarious and difficult that women cling to another pole, a “symbolic pole” which represents the camp as a bearer of memories, relationships and dreams. And it’s because this last pole exists that life in the camp can be tolerated. If the Palestinian national struggle – for a certain generation of Palestinian women – was the main struggle, the end of the war signed “the end of illusions” and the slowing of the national struggle which has long proven structuring. That said, the pattern of resistance persists while women continue to resist and appear as “actresses of transmission”. The transmission of religious identity quickly gained in importance as the Palestinian community struggled to recover from the horrors of war. Through religion, many women found meaning in a life and it is also through religion that the return to Palestine is now carried. Moreover, the memory of Palestine is another value that women seek to pass on from a generation to another. Even though, passing on the memory of Palestine is a role traditionally carried by women, they do not fulfill it “blindly” but they convey a message that has been sought, rebuilt and sometimes criticized. Finally, another project arrives rapidly in exile: the transmission of knowledge, a core value for Palestinian women as it is a strategy for survival, development and social mobility. But for some, because faced with contextual constraints and the weight of tradition, education is still a struggle. Thus, it is because women carry and transmit traditional values – religious identity, memory and education – that the oppression and colonization of Palestinians can be fought everyday.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the change of the concept of asylum through the incorporation of the gender concept and its impact on the application process of asylum and the granting of status refugee for victims of gender violence in Canada. From a diachronic perspective on the transmutations of asylum and of social and cultural transformations of this social phenomenon, we record the tensions and contradictions be issued by its application and its related discourse. The observation that conflicting dynamics tied in this field displays a dialectical tension between human rights and citizenship, a symbiosis in the development of women’s rights and laws on refugees and contradictions as those between the relativism and essentialism. The review of asylum process especially for women in particular victims of gender violence through an analysis of social and cultural change signals the highly political nature of this phenomenon and lies asylum at the crossroads in the process of emancipation of the political subject.

Full textThis Master’s Thesis is about the survival of women in contexts of organized violence. Our research is supported by the testimonials of two women living in Canada who are refugees from Rwanda. We seek to explore their perspectives on three dimensions of survival: the victimization and re-victimization to which they were subjected, the actions they were able to perform to survive, and the meanings they gave to these experiences. First, these women express that in addition to the genocide in 1994, they lived in a climate of insecurity, uncertainty and impunity during the war in Rwanda (1990-94); in exile, during the war to overthrow Mobutu; the massacre of Rwandan refugees; and the pillage of natural resources by the AFDL. They describe the continuity of organized violence from one political regime to another. From the beginning of the war to their arrival in Canada, they were victims and witnesses of human rights violations perpetrated by various armed groups. In addition, these women testify to the non-recognition of their refugee status by the officials that deal with overseas requests for asylum, of the dehumanizing treatment by administrators of humanitarian aid, and more importantly, of the non-recognition and impunity of crimes committed by the military and the government currently in power in Rwanda. In addition, these testimonies show social actors engaged in political activism, collective action and the protection, security, survival of their loved ones, from the beginning of the conflict to their arrival in Canada. In fact, to overcome the difficulties imposed by organized violence, they creatively mobilized and transformed all of the resources available to them in their human, social and economic capital to meet the needs of their loved ones and of their community, and this, throughout the entire migration process. Finally, in regards to meaning, we discuss how women perceive their individual experiences of suffering as a history of collective victimization, which seems to help them normalize their experiences. We also see emanating from their testimony, the identity of strong, resilient women capable of adapting in a climate of adversity, which seems to encourage coherence, continuity and a sense of pride.
