The diversification of gender-based priorities and the necessities of refugees have led refugee NGOs to launch activities specifically for women, or urged women-only NGOs to take action particularly for refugee women in Turkey. Drawing upon a qualitative research in Gaziantep in Turkey, which host a large population of Syrian refugees, this study seeks to answer the question "How effective are NGOs in empowering Syrian refugee women in Turkey?" It is argued that NGOs working in the provision of assistance to refugees cannot be treated as a homogeneous group in terms of the degree and form of their influences on the empowerment of refugee women, and the individual NGO's standpoints may shape their effects. Data from interviews with NGO representatives and Syrian women who have received support from NGOs indicate that the NGOs' perceptions of women's issues and their contribution to the empowerment of women are closely linked to their type.

The Impact of GCR on Local Governments and Syrian Refugees in Turkey
Kale Lack, Başak (Wiley, 2019-12-01)
In the last couple of years, more than 3.6 million Syrian refugees have been hosted under the "temporary protection" scheme in Turkey. Despite these high numbers Turkey did not have a centralized refugee settlement and integration policy. As a result, various stakeholders including local governments have played critical roles in providing refugee assistance services. This research looks at the role of local governments in delivering services evolving from emergency response to local integration. This articl...
A Faithful Alliance Between the Civil Society and the State: Actors and Mechanisms of Accommodating Syrian Refugees in Istanbul
Danis, Didem; Nazli, Dilara (Wiley, 2019-04-01)
Reception, hospitality and integration are certainly the main challenges of the contemporary world, particularly for countries like Turkey which hosts more than 3 million refugees from Syria. The aim of this article is to analyze the reception practices of civil society organizations and the nature of these bodies' relationship with state agencies by focusing on Sultanbeyli, a peripheral district of Istanbul. Based on a fieldwork conducted in this district, we present the functioning of various state and no...
Ethnic Return Migration and Public Debate: The Case of Kazakhstan
Kuşçu Bonnenfant, Işık (Wiley, 2014-04-01)
Ethnic return migrations tend to become a controversial issue and create public debates within the receiving homeland states because of two major factors. The first concerns the economic and social problems brought on by the migrants ' integration process as well as the socio-economic burden that such migrations place on homeland institutions. The second involves the inherently discriminatory and exclusionary character of such migrations because they privilege the state-bearing ethnic group over others. As ...
Money-earning activities and empowerment experiences of rural migrant women in the city
Erman, Tahire; Kalaycıoğlu, Sibel; Rittersberger, Helga İda (Elsevier BV, 2002-7)
This article investigates empowerment in relation to money-earning activities in the context of rural-to-urban migrant women in poor families in Turkey. Acknowledging the exploitative character of employment accessible to migrant women, it asks whether working migrant women gain something in their families in return for their economic contributions. The article points to the traditional role of men as the heads of the family and family honor (namus) as the cultural basis which acts against the empowerment o...
SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA USERS TOWARD SYRIAN REFUGEES IN TURKEY
ÖZDEMİR, FATİH; Öner Özkan, Bengi (2016-12-01)
Suriyeli mülteciler krizi beş yılı aşkın bir süredir hem Türkiye ve diğer komşu ülkelerde hem Avrupa ülkelerinde etkisini artırarak sürdürürken, mülteciler sığındıkları ülkelerde topluma uyum sağlayamamakta ve sosyal dışlanmaya maruz kalmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de sosyal medya kullanıcılarının Suriyeli mültecilere ilişkin sosyal temsillerini nitel bir yaklaşım ile araştırmaktır; çünkü sosyal temsiller Suriyeli mülteciler ve Türkiye toplumunun entegrasyon sürecince yaşadığı problemleri ve Suriy...
