To date, an estimated 9 million Syrians have fled their homes since the beginning of the conflict in 2011. While over 3 million have fled to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, 6.5 million are internally displaced within Syria. Whereas most research has focused on examining Syrian refugees’ status and living conditions in host countries; few studies aimed to document their views and perceptions about transitional justice processes, including reparation issues and how they perceived a durable and sustainable peace in Syria. This paper focuses on Syrian refugees and displaced persons’ role and contribution to transitional justice processes. It explores their views and perceptions about a wide range of political, civil, social, economic and cultural issues, including accountability, reparation, the nature of the future governance system, Syria’s cultural identity, the rights of minorities and women, reconstruction and development priorities and Demilitarization, Demobilization and Reintegration (ddr) issues.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Purpose – The Syrian civil war that forced hundreds of thousands of Syrian women and children into Jordan as refugees dramatically increased the number of child labourers in that country. The current investigation aims to establish a body of knowledge on the issues surrounding child labour in Jordan by providing an exploratory diagnosis of the phenomenon. The purpose of this paper is to explore verbal and physical abusive practices towards working children and investigate whether there are differences between the treatment of domestic and Syrian refugee child labourers. Design/methodology/approach – The research design is quantitative; however, we use a qualitative technique to support and expand the research findings. Data were collected from 124 Jordanian and Syrian working children over a seven-month period in 2013. Findings – The results reveal that it is poverty that forces Jordanian children into work while Syrian children are driven by the need for asylum. Of the abusive practices directed towards working children, verbal abuse is the most common. Older children, children from unstable families and those who work long hours are more vulnerable to this form of abuse, while children from unstable family structures and who work long hours are more likely to experience physically abuse. The results reveal that Syrian children are paid much less, are less verbally abused, had better schooling and perceive working conditions more positively than do their Jordanian counterparts. Research limitations/implications – Limitations of this research arise from the size the sample. Social implications – The current study aims to raise awareness about the importance of preventing abusive practices towards local and refugee children working in Jordan. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, very little is known about refugee child labour and how it might differ from domestic child labour.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Background Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) for refugee women in reproductive age is highly affected by physical, political, psychosocial and environmental conditions in countries of asylum. HRQoL is enormously affected by the satisfaction of this vulnerable group with the physical, psychological, emotional and social care services provided in this critical time. Therefore, this study aimed toassess the HRQoL among Syrian refugee women of reproductive age living outside camps in Jordan. Methods A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted with a convenience sample of 523 Syrian refugee women in the host communities in Jordan.Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) was measured using the short-form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Results Significant negative correlations were found between SF-36 individual subscales score and the length of marriage, the number of children, parity and family income. The strongest correlations were between pain scale and length of marriage (r = − .21), and between Energy/Fatigue and ‘number of children’ (r = − .21). Conversely, antenatal care was positively correlated with physical, role emotional, pain, and general health. Physical functioning and general health were predicted significantly with less years of marriage, younger age at marriage, less violence and by higher family income. Conclusion This study suggests low HRQoL scores for women of reproductive age across all domains. Several factors such as years of marriage, age at marriage, the number of children, violence, antenatal care and family income affected the women’s general health. The provision of appropriate and accessible reproductive and maternal healthcare services in antenatal visits is critical for ensuring the immediate and long-term health and wellbeing of refugee women and their families.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This article argues that the situation of Palestinian refugees is still relevant till this day. There are around five million refugees living in neighbouring Arab countries, such as Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Egypt, as well as neighbouring areas in Palestine itself, like the West Bank and Gaza Strip, under very precarious conditions. Their situation is extremely unstable as any changes in the region can influence them directly.
The need to address this issue is particularly important because Palestinian refugees (as well as internally displaced Palestinians) have been both historically and politically marginalised. In particular, I will argue for a need to gender the debate around the Palestinian refugees, because the distinct experience of women Palestinian refugees has been overlooked within this context. Most literature has focused on the Palestinian refugees as a holistic population, which assumes all refugees share the same struggle. However, understanding the position of women within the context of the refugees and the unique struggles they face is essential to understanding their particular experiences as refugees and in highlighting their differential needs; this is why a feminist perspective is needed within the field of refugee studies.
This article is based on a feminist journey drawing on research interviews with female Palestinian refugees in camps in Jordan, and with Syrian Palestinian women in Turkey, Jordan and Europe.

This paper explores how young Syrian refugees in Jordan who have grown up using information and new communication technologies are using the internet as a private space where emotions and practices regarding intimate and marital life are expressed. We explore how new technologies and social media are influencing refugees’ perceptions and experiences of marriage and divorce during displacement. Based on in-depth interviews with rural Syrian women from Deraa province living in northern Jordan, our research sheds light on the multi-faceted ways these women embrace emerging technologies. Furthermore, we demonstrate how technology influences gender-specific narratives and practices around marriage and divorce

This article aims to contextualize the entrepreneurial identity (EI) of Syrian refugees living outside refugee camps in Jordan. The research adopts a social lens to consider the situation Syrians find themselves in by drawing on the work of Bourdieu. A qualitative design is applied to explore the different experiences and perceptions that pervade refugee stories and the work of refugee aid agencies. By contextualizing EI in the Jordanian context, the article reveals how a destabilized refugee habitus based on an embodied disposition of survivability is emerging. The article makes an empirical and conceptual contribution by highlighting how the entrepreneurial activities of Syrian refugees are driven by their experiences of the harsh social conditions they find themselves in.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Jordan and Lebanon are among the predominantly affected countries by the Syrian civil war that began after the outbreak of the Arab Spring in 2011. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Syrians, including women and children, moved to these two countries. As media plays an integral role in shaping societies and framing the world around us, this study explores the representation of Syrian female refugees in Jordan News Agency (Petra) and Lebanon National News Agency (NNA). It uses a 13-million-word corpus of Arabic news articles from 2012 to 2016. These 5 years represent the peak of the Syrian refugee crisis, and the media coverage of it was extensive and thorough. Adopting a corpus-assisted discourse approach to analyze the data yielded eight main categories that were recurrent in the news of the two agencies, namely, suffering, sexual exploitation, impact on the local female community, awareness-raising, making a living, support, vulnerability, and burden. The findings revealed that the focus in Petra news was mainly on empowering the Syrian female refugees, while NNA highlighted Syrian women’s suffering and efforts of alleviation. The study recommends that the governments of Jordan and Lebanon as well as international organizations provide more support and protection for vulnerable and disadvantaged refugee women. It also stresses the need for psychosocial support, counter-trafficking, protection, and women empowerment programs.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Migrants and refugees are among the vulnerable populations that suffered disproportionately from the COVID-19 crisis. However, their experiences with COVID-19 positivity status have not been investigated. This study explored the physical, mental, and psychosocial impacts of a positive COVID-19 diagnosis on Syrian refugees living in Jordan. Using a qualitative approach, twenty phone interviews were conducted with ten adult Syrian refugees living within the camp and ten refugees living in non-camp (host community) settings in Jordan. Follow-up interviews with five health care providers at a refugee camp were conducted to explore the services and support provided to the refugees with COVID-19 infection. The findings were thematically analyzed and grouped into major themes, subthemes, and emerging themes. Refugees living within camp settings had better access to testing, healthcare, and disease management and did not experience fear of being deported. Refugees in both settings suffered mental and psychosocial health impacts, social isolation, fear of death, and disease complications. COVID-19 infection has negatively impacted refugees’ well-being with noticeable disparities across the different living conditions. Refugees living within host community settings may need more support for managing their condition, accessibility to free testing, as well as treatment and healthcare services.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This article examines the implications of long-term encampment and exile for the meaning of Palestinian identity amongst refugees. It shows how the conditions of Palestinian camps in Jordan function as a key marker of social difference between refugees of the camps and the city. Whereas camp refugees see the hardships of camp life as conditions to be confronted, urban refugees take them as constitutive features of a socially distinct refugee. As I argue, the distinctions between camp and city refugees illustrate how the refugee category and the humanitarian camp exceed the ideology and function of humanitarianism. They demonstrate how, in protracted refugee situations, the refugee label and the historical context of the camp can become socially significant and contested features of identity.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This article discusses rationales for development and humanitarian intervention through the lenses of poststructuralist policy analysis and a postcolonial politics of the womb. It aims to show a variety of perspectives on early marriage and the limitations of dominant policy responses. The article argues that humanitarian logics easily blend with developmentalist models, especially in conditions of protracted displacement. The response to the rise of early marriage among Syrians in Jordan mainly consists of educational activities such as awareness raising that are based on imparting knowledge. The article suggests that responses based on an ethics of dialogue may be more adequate to meet refugees’ needs and, second, may help to shift the balance from developmentalist reproductive governance towards realizing the humanitarian goal of identifying and addressing women refugees’ needs.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Thesis (MDF)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.In many developing countries, culture and tradition have contributed to the disempowerment of women. In these countries, a women's time is divided between the reproductive role of creating a family, the productive role of feeding the family, and balancing all the demands. This has resulted in 1) higher unemployment rate for women than men in virtually every developing country as reported by the World Bank gender statistics database, and 2) women having low self-confidence and self-esteem. Furthermore, when living outside their country with little or almost nothing, refugee women live in camps, temporary shelters, collective centres or rent a house in a host country where they compete with the local populations for property as well as natural and social resources, while being excluded from some of the basic rights through restrictive regulations imposed by the host country. Building upon the widely known facts that women more likely reinvest their earnings in a business and their families and spend more of their extra income on things that help develop human capital, better sanitation, better nutrition and also better health care and education, this study addresses the application of microfinance with the objective of empowering Congolese refugee women in the Western Cape in South Africa. The theoretical contributions of this study are twofold. Firstly, an analysis of the situation of the Congolese refugee women is presented in terms of their predicaments and opportunities in SA, using a survey. Secondly, building upon the conclusions of this survey, a support and empowerment microfinance approach adapted to the Congolese refugee women community is derived. As practical contribution, this study proposes the development of a business model that will cater for Congolese women refugees and its implementation through the creation of a non-governmental organisation in the Western Cape.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Although civil war affects all civilians, it impacts men and women in different ways, and it influences their gender roles and responsibilities. Comparatively little attention has been given to assessing the gender sensitivity of international organizations who implement post-conflict reconstruction programs. The different social, economic and political dimensions of war to peace transitions, and how they impact on gender relations, can shed some light on the complicated intersections of needs and interests in wartorn societies. An examination of the policies of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the World Bank reveals that there is relatively little gender mainstreaming within their post-conflict operations. This research finds that the lack of resources and coordination, the failure to build on local capacities, and a lack of commitment to gender mainstreaming are the main obstacles these organizations face. To improve the situation it is recommended that organizations develop and use a 'gender checklist' at all stages of project planning, implementation and monitoring to ensure increased gender sensitivity in post-conflict programming.

This study explores economic conditions among Iraqi refugee women living in urban areas of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan through open-ended interviews. The research aims to address coping mechanisms Iraqi refugee women use to adapt to their financial situation. The goal is to review the proactive efforts women make to turn family units from traditional consumers (buying goods) to producers (making goods) in order to find financial stability.
The study incorporates three overarching themes: First, it establishes Iraqi refugee women’s financial status by surveying economic security and employment opportunities. Second, the study investigates how living in urban areas of Jordan affects Iraqi women’s economic status. Thirdly, the study explores how Iraqi refugee women approach their financial situation. How have Iraqi women taken steps to exercise control over their financial lives and improve their economic situation as refugees?
The objective of this project is to promote women’s empowerment by creating an open dialogue about Iraqi women’s struggles and to highlight the steps that women take to improve their situation. The study suggests steps that can be taken to aid Iraqi refugees.text

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This is a qualitative empirical thesis which will examine the lived reality behind the visual representation of the veiled Afghan woman in the blue burqa. ‘Reality’, is defined as “the state of things as they are or appear to be, rather than as one might wish them to be”. (Hanks 1979, p, 1216). Eight Afghan women, now living in Australia articulate their experience of the residue of cultural and political warfare throughout the Russian (1979–1989), mujahedeen (1985–1989) and Taliban (1994–2001) regimes. The participating women, from Hazara, Tajik and Pashtun tribal groups, expose multiple layers of gendered inequality because of strict patriarchy, and cultural ethnicity in Afghanistan. Their stories illustrate how Afghan women also traverse the western pre-determined and prevailing stereotypical perceptions of the Muslim Other. Nineteenth century Afghan cameleers heralded Islamism into Australia; but it was the events of 11th September 2001 that shone a spotlight on Afghan women in the blue burqa, their stories were concealed beneath the camouflage of retaliation with the West thwarting the chances of social justice for them. Examining visual images is a powerful way to illuminate the disturbing residue of cultural and political conflict no one wants to see. The veiled Afghan woman is breaking new ground, telling her story and claiming her right to represent herself as a woman, “laying bare the prejudices beneath the smooth surface of the beautiful” (Rose, 2007, p. 75), challenging the social effects of meaning as well as our capacity to see, to listen. I will support this examination by engaging with a participatory paradigm based on an objective-subjective ontology. John Heron and Peter Reason (1997), incorporated a co-operative methodology, as well as a broad range of ways of knowing. This method enables the use of visual images of veiled Afghan women that are widely viewed through a tangled western perception of Islamic values and ideologies. Researching visual images is an effective way to elucidate the often hidden, largely unconsidered impact of cultural and political conflict on these women. In so doing, the lived reality of Afghan women, vividly illuminates the morals of exclusion and inclusion and the invisibility and hyper-visibility more vividly from the point of view of being 'the Other.' Decades of conflict have altered the Afghanistan humanitarian landscape, affecting social and cultural practices for Afghan women in especially damaging ways. In the words of Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations, “Human rights are what reason requires and conscience demands. They are us and we are them” (Annan, 1997, p.1).

This study is about refugee women from the Great Lakes Region, who are living in Pietermaritzburg and face many challenges that contribute to their vulnerability to HIV and AIDS. These include the challenges of language barriers, lack of communication, gender based violence, and other socio-economic problems. This dissertation seeks to investigate critically some of the gender-based challenges that the refugee women from Great Lakes Region face in Pietermaritzburg which can make them vulnerable to HIV and AIDS. Though there is much literature written on the challenges of women refugees in Africa, there is not much written on the challenges of refugee women who live in cities. This study was involved to eight women and two male church leaders of the French-Swahili church in Pietermaritzburg where these refugee women fellowship.Thesis (M.Th.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2007.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Text in EnglishDisasters are global phenomena, often occurring without warning and with physical and psychological consequences among those affected. In May 2008, refugee and migrants living in South Africa were exposed to xenophobic violence, which may be described as a human caused disaster using the Shultz, Espinel et al. (2008) definition of disaster. Refugee and migrant women were particularly vulnerable during this time due to heightened risk for exposure to violence and pathology. During 2014, a mixed methods convergent study was conducted in Johannesburg to determine the presence of acute stress disorder symptoms (ASD), posttraumatic growth (PTG) and experiences of xenophobic violence among refugee and migrant women. One hundred and three refugee and migrant women completed a selfadministered questionnaire, while semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with a sub-set of 22 women.The quantitative results showed a positive, linear association between moderate ASD-total symptoms, as assessed by the Stanford Acute Stress Reaction Questionnaire (SASRQ) (Cardeña, Classen, Koopman, & Spiegel, 2014) and moderate posttraumatic growth-total, assessed by the posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI) (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996). All ASD symptom subscales were predictors of posttraumatic growth. The qualitative results from both the SASRQ open-ended responses and semi-structured responses showed that refugee and migrant women were adversely affected by the xenophobic violence, with a prevailing fear that the xenophobic violence would re-occur. There was convergence in the quantitative findings and the qualitative findings for the pathological and adaptive outcomes. Policymakers must address xenophobic violence by working towards prevention of this type of violence. In instances where policies fail to address or prevent xenophobic violence, disaster programmes should consider xenophobic violence in disaster planning. Further to this, mental health intervention programmes should not only focus on alleviating ASD symptoms but also emphasise enhancing PTG.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study examines the profound socio-political and economic ramifications brought about by the Syrian refugee crisis in Jordan, a nation at the forefront of Middle Eastern hospitality toward displaced populations. With the influx of over 1.4 million Syrian refugees, Jordan faces unprecedented challenges that test its economic resilience, social fabric, political stability, and national identity. The research highlights Jordan’s commendable humanitarian response despite its limited resources, emphasizing the strain on public services, infrastructure, and the labor market. Furthermore, the study examines the international response to the crisis, critiquing the adequacy of global aid and the effectiveness of international policy interventions. It proposes a multidimensional approach to refugee support, encompassing immediate humanitarian aid, long-term development strategies, and policies that foster social integration and economic inclusion. This article underscores the need for a coordinated and compassionate international effort to alleviate the burdens on Jordan, encouraging a shift toward sustainable solutions that benefit both refugees and host communities. By highlighting the critical challenges and proposing actionable recommendations, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on global refugee crises and their impact on host countries like Jordan.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In the world of social work and related professions and disciplines, policy and welfare provisioning is everywhere. Some would say that over the past 10–15 years there has been a veritable explosion of policy-making. Social policy can be regarded as referring to the actions taken within society to develop and deliver services for people in order to meet their needs for social welfare and well-being. Social policy explores a plethora of social, political, ideological and institutional context within which welfare is produced, distributed and consumed. It seeks to provide an account of the processes which contribute to or detract from welfare, and it does this within a normative framework which involves with broad-based social phenomena is, in principle, no different from putting in place arrangements for dealing with issues at home. A desktop review was used in accordance with the case study for the study, and qualitative and qualitative research methods were used to gather data collected from the research. Data collection methods that were used included observations, focus group discussions and interviews. The study recommends that social workers should be equipped with the practical applicability of social welfare with refugees in policy making, coordination and implementation.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The research was based on understanding the experiences of a group of Venezuelan migrant women in Spain. Method followed was mixed research, whose objective was to analyze the complexity of the migratory experience from coping and intersectionality. There were 20 intentionally selected women. Instruments used were an inventory of coping strategies and an interview script. Results: average age 42.60 years. General average in coping strategies used by migrants was 18.25 for problem solving, 4.95 for self-criticism, 12.75 for emotional expression, 12.35 for illusions, 13.55 for social support, 14.45 for cognitive restructuring, 7.00 for problem avoidance, and 7.20 for social withdrawal. The stressful situations were categorized as economic, family, social, and migratory. Also, they are identified as a vulnerable group intercepted by the axes: gender, class and social origin, rationalization, and ethnic and cultural diversity. Likewise, three categories were identified: access to work and working conditions, forms of linguistic rejection, and stereotypes based on hypersexualization. Migrants have similar sociodemographic characteristics compared to other studies. Likewise, they face migratory stress through a problem-solving strategy. On the other hand, from an intersectional perspective, the axes and categories identified are related to the dynamics of power and exclusion that impact migrants and make them vulnerable.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Dispossession and displacement have always afflicted life in the modern history of the Middle East and North Africa. Waves of people have been displaced from their homeland as a result of conflicts and social illnesses. At the end of the nineteenth century, Circassian Muslims and Jewish groups were dispossessed of their homes and lands in Eurasia. This was followed by the displacement of the Armenians and Christian groups in the aftermath of the First World War. They were followed by Palestinians who fled from their homes in the struggle for control over Palestine after the Second World War. In recent times, almost 4 million Iraqis have left their country or have been internally displaced. And in the summer of 2006, Lebanese, Sudanese and Somali refugees fled to neighbouring countries in the hope of finding peace, security and sustainable livelihoods. With the increasing number of refugees, this book presents a discourse on displacement and dispossession. It examines the extent to which forced migration has come to define the feature of life in the Middle East and North Africa. It presents researches on the refugees, particularly on the internally displaced people of Iran and Afghanistan. The eleven chapters in this book deal with the themes of displacement, repatriation, identity in exile and refugee policy. They cover themes such as the future of the Turkish settlers in northern Cyprus; the Hazara migratory networks between Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and the Western countries; the internal displacement among Kurds in Iraq and Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; the Afghan refugee youth as a ‘burnt generation’ on their post-conflict return; Sahrawi identity in refugee camps; and the expression of the ‘self’ in poetry for Iran refugees and oral history for women Iraqi refugees in Jordan.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
An attempt to objectively and comprehensively record the modern living reality of asylum seekers based on their own perspective and the views expressed by the academic and administrative staff employed at accommodation structures has been made. Emphasis is placed on women, and the common problems they encounter regardless of gender, but also on individual differences identified between female and male asylum seekers. Therefore, the present paper focuses on the living conditions in temporary accommodation centres and on the existing social relationship structures being shaped at such centres, with special emphasis on the dimension of gender (single women, single mothers). The aim of this paper was, then, to collect documented material and evidence on current practices concerning specific vulnerable groups, on the grounds that such groups still remain in obscurity to some extent and their survival is hugely dependent on individual initiatives and occasional assistance received. Our motive was the lack of comparative data, drawing attention to specific vulnerable groups in temporary accommodation centres and hostels in Athens and Lavrion and to their living conditions. Consequently, the realization of this research, for the implementation of which a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods has been employed, is considered to be a minimum prerequisite for the creation of a humanitarian policy addressing refugees in Greece, as a Member State of the EU. The findings highlight the concerns about the service quality including: (1) the lack or variations in the frequency of funding, (2) the absence of women’s participation in decision-making as their responsibilities residing in these centres usually fulfill their “stereotypical” roles: child care, cooking and cleaning, (3) the difficulties in recording/identifying specific incidents are mainly due to a lack of knowledge and a lack of staff, which is typical of the centres surveyed by Doctors Without Borders in Europe, but also due to the fear overwhelming violent victims, preventing the disclosure of facts and contributing to the maintenance of this bleak picture of the victims. (4) the need for psychological support due to problems that can become more severe after long periods of waiting at centres due to the uncertain outcome of asylum procedures hindering their adjustment. (5) the lack of childcare provisions inhibits employment for women. In addition as the vast majority of female refugees are poorly educated and cannot easily find a (legitimate) job—until after a long stay—they basically get employed at the informal home-based work sector and/or at other marginalized sectors of the labour market. The present research may contribute to the: (a) provision of a clear-cut picture of the gender dimension within the refugee context, (b) identification of the female refugee population’s needs and the detection of the problems they encounter, (c) the evaluation of the effectiveness of services and structures supporting refugees and (d) exploitation of results and findings for policy design.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Confined space offers an instructive vantage point into the reconfiguration of social relationships that were central to the emancipation process. In homes and kitchens throughout the slave states, enslaved house servants devised strategies for asserting greater control over their labor and their lives, even when escape to freedom was out of reach. Women and men hired to work in the shops and factories that supported the Confederate war effort interacted with new casts of characters with new possibilities for stretching their customary boundaries and shedding their usual constraints. For freedom-seeking refugees who reached Union lines, refugee camps (generally called "contraband camps") offered shelter and employment, though often under the watchful eyes of proselytizing Northerners. Cities presented special conditions for the breakdown of slavery, as the experience of Washington, D.C., illustrates. The D.C. emancipation act of April 1862 set in motion a contested process that defies the simple characterization of immediate emancipation.

The article describes the living conditions, situation and spatial placement of Ukrainian forced migrants in the Czech Republic. As a result of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, almost 370,000 Ukrainians fleeing the war received temporary shelter in the Czech Republic. The research methodology is based on the results of a sociological survey, the purpose of which was to establish the living conditions of refugees in the Czech Republic and their attitudes towards further stay. It has been established that the majority of migrants are concentrated in the capital (Prague), Central Bohemia, Moravian-Silesian and South Moravian regions. Among the migrants, natives from the western regions of Ukraine and the temporarily occupied territories of the south and east predominate almost equally. The key aspects in choosing a place of accommodation were cities where one of the family members worked or the reason was the big cities. Although half of the forced migrants are children, and 4/5 of the adult population are women, almost 70,000 migrants have already started working in official jobs. Despite this level of adaptation, 80% of refugees are determined to return home. Of course, the language barrier was the main problem during adaptation among the immigrants, but the majority are satisfied with the living conditions and the attitude of the Czechs towards them. Ukrainian labour migrants performed a fairly significant economic function in the Czech Republic even before the war, so the mass influx of forced migrants significantly revived the labour market and, due to social benefits, affected the economic situation. The economic effect of refugees is always largely negative, but in a rather short period it is compensated by the rapid adaptation of Ukrainians and the filling of certain sections of the labour market.

The Republic of Moldova, including the Transnistrian region, has become one stop on the massive flow of displaced Ukrainians to the west. Many of them decided to settle in the region. It is relevant to understand how displaced Ukrainians settle in the region and which problems they face. Among Ukrainian migrants in Transnistria, women predominate (about 85%). About 50% of refugees are between 30 and 50 years old. The presence of displaced Ukrainians in Transnistria has a certain impact on the demographic situation in the region, but statistical accounting of this impact remains a problem. The adaptation of Ukrainian immigrants to Transnistria can be supported by a number of factors, including the region’s proximity to Ukraine (especially from Odessa), a favorable cultural and linguistic environment, a simplified registration system, and the availability of educational services, including in the Ukrainian language. The adaptation of Ukrainian immigrants to Transnistria may face a number of factors that may pose obstacles to successful integration, including differences in traditions and customs between Ukraine and Transnistria (for example, the use of pro-Russian symbols in the region), limited social services available to resettlers, low levels of payment labor and difficulty finding work. The current situation aggravates the issue of the effectiveness of the Transnistrian authorities’ policy to attract and retain the population through measures to create jobs, provide affordable housing and support families.

"Stigmatizing Attitudes Toward Depression,Anxiety and Schizophrenia Among Jordanian university students". In International Conference on Public Health and Humanitarian Action. International Federation of Medical Students' Associations - Jordan, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56950/jzab2514.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Background: One of the most prevalent mental health conditions, depression affects more than 300 million people worldwide and significantly contributes to disability. Anxiety is characterized by disruptive feelings of dread, concern, and uncertainty. Schizophrenia is a serious, lifelong mental illness that impacts 1% of people worldwide. The illness can cause serious impairments and is characterized by positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms. Rejection and intolerance toward psychiatric patients are part of the stigma associated with mental illness, which reduces their prospects of leading more fulfilling lives. We conducted this study to come up with valuable evidence concerning the awareness of depression and anxiety as mental disorders among university students in Jordan. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the stigmatizing views of college and university students toward those who suffer from anxiety,depression and schizophrenia, the desire for social isolation, gender (male and female), and major (medical and non-medical) disparities. Method: This cross-sectional study collected data from all Jordanian universities via Google forms. The survey contains three validated questionnaires concerning anxiety, depression and Schizophrenia associated with Stigmatization separately. Results: 730 people completed the survey, which consisted of three questionnaires, one for anxiety, with 203 responses, of which (66.5 %) were female. While the depression one contained 307 responses, and 72.4% of them were women. And the last one, 223 responds had been collected via the survey in which female consists of 59.4%. Our research showed that people who were medical students or who had already experienced anxiety were more inclined to disagree with the words "Sign of Weakness," "Not a Real Problem," and "People with Anxiety Are Dangerous. “ Additionally, people who had previously experienced depression are more likely to concur with "Could Snap Out of Depression." However, those who received any psychological or medical care were more inclined to disagree with the notion. Furthermore, people who were medical student were significantly three times more likely to disagree with the following statement “Won’t Vote For People With This Condition”. Moreover, people who had Schizophrenia before were significantly twice as likely to disagree with the previous statements. Conclusion: The current study found that many Jordanian college students have a stigma toward people with depression, anxiety and Schizophrenia. In addition, students with no history of depression, anxiety or Schizophrenia showed higher stigma in some subscale items toward people with the mental issues. The present results suggest that more anti-stigma actions should be applied to Jordanian college students to help prevent or reduce stigma attitudes toward people with these mental issues. Keywords: Anxiety, Depression, Students, Schizophrenia, mental illness, stigma

The Effects of Social Assistance Interventions on Gender, Familial and Household Relations Among Refugees and Displaced Populations: A Review of the Literature on Interventions in Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), março de 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/basic.2022.011.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This literature review aims to explore the evidence on the effects of social assistance on gender, familial, and household relations and power dynamics among refugees and (internally) displaced populations in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon. It examines the findings from an intersectional gender perspective allowing the authors to build on the knowledge of ‘what works’ in interventions in general and hopefully improve gender equality and social inclusion. Out of 1,564 papers initially identified and screened, 22 were included in the final stage. A question that emerged as the papers were analysed was whether the arduous work of targeting individuals was efficient or necessary, given that the available evidence suggests that beneficiaries generally tend to share their stipend with other family members for the collective good. Most studies tended to conflate gender with women and girls – making distinctions between widowed, married, unmarried and divorced women – but ignoring other dimensions such as class, health status, religion, ethnicity, education, prior work experience, political affiliation, and civil participation. Many programmes and research fail to disaggregate data. Social assistance programmes focus on individuals and households, with little attention to the wider context and overall conflict. Most studies paid negligible attention to familial infrastructures and strategies for sustainable interventions. Access to, and use of, cash transfers are part of broader familial strategies to mobilise or increase resources including, for example, (male) migration in pursuit of remittances, or (female) dependency on ‘community charity’. Short-term cash transfers can, in some circumstances, disrupt individuals’ and families’ access to more sustainable income or ‘charity’. Thus, important questions are raised about the purpose of social assistance: does it aim to preserve or transform families through targeting?
