The objective of this research is to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced integration of women refugees into Turkish society. The study was designed as a qualitative study between March 2020 and June 2020. The notion of integration is redefined as an eight-dimensional model composed of education, sociocultural, health, economy, legal, shelter, family and security. Semi-structured interviews were conducted by telephone, with 50 women refugees in Turkey, about the impact of COVID-19 on integration. The results of the research indicate that most women refugees had both positive and negative experiences in economic, education and sociocultural dimensions of integration. The COVID-19 outbreak affected their integration in an unprecedented way, especially in daily and work life as well as access to health services. Similarly, language barriers faced by refugee women create significant challenges and obstacles, making the integration process more complex. Refugee women stated that COVID-19 positively influenced the security dimension of integration.
本研究的目的是确定新冠疫情如何影响女性难民融入土耳其社会。该研究设计为2020年3月至2020年6月期间的一项定性研究。融入的概念被重新定义为一个由教育、社会文化、健康、经济、法律、住房、家庭和安全组成的八维模型。通过电话对土耳其的50名女性难民进行了半结构化访谈,了解新冠疫情对融入的影响。研究结果表明,大多数女性难民在融入的经济、教育和社会文化层面既有积极体验也有消极体验。新冠疫情的爆发以前所未有的方式影响了她们的融入,尤其是在日常生活和工作以及获得医疗服务方面。同样,难民女性面临的语言障碍带来了重大挑战和阻碍,使融入过程更加复杂。难民女性表示,新冠疫情对融入的安全层面产生了积极影响。
