Özet:

Today, Turkey is the host country of the largest Syrian asylum-seeker population in the world. Almost half of the asylum-seekers is made up from women, while significant majority is women and children. Likewise the policies and regulations introduced to manage this migration, majority of the research and reports lack a gender perspective. This approach, which assumes that asylum-seekers, women, men and children, all have had the same migration and asylum experience, lets the gender-based discrimination, abuse and violence that women and girls experience be overlooked. This study, which aims to understand and discuss Syrian women asylum-seekers’ experiences on migration to Turkey, housing, access to health care and education services in the country and which intends to reveal their vulnerability to abuse, reexamines research papers and reports with a gender perspective by focusing on women’s experiences. The study highlights that every step taken about the Syrian migration, -the policies carried out, the regulations adopted as well as the aids provided to the asylum-seekers, has to empower Syrian women in order to support them in becoming the actors of their lives they are going to build in Turkey or elsewhere. The study concludes that access to education and work life are crucial in these respects
