This paper – the second in a series of three – is part of a research project on Syrian refugee women. It focuses on findings from the fieldwork conducted by the primary author on the experiences of Syrian women in Jordan and Lebanon. Our wider research focus was on understanding the status of Syrian women refugees in two host countries (Jordan and Lebanon) and one settlement country (Australia), and how their experiences of forced migration may influence their political participation – meaning their ability to participate in processes that advance their immediate rights – in a post-conflict Syria.
