In/Visibility of Flight: Images and Narratives of Forced Migration, Ed by - Monika Mokre, Maria Six-Hohenbalken - Book
Description
It explores the dynamics of visibility and social interactions of Kurdish women in these two cities. The study highlights the crucial role that inclusive public spaces in the city play in empowering migrant women, promoting social integration and improving their visibility in public spaces.
At a time when forced migration and the visibility of refugees are at the center of public and academic discourse, this research offers valuable insights into the everyday experiences of Kurdish women and their navigation of the urban environment.
Increasingly there is focus on "women" and "men" as analytical categories in gender transformative evaluations. This is necessary, but is it adequate? The answer is "No"
Women are far from uniform. One woman may progress at the expense of the other, like in the case of women from small farming household receiving support for mechanized harvesters which displace women form households without land.
While the project may be with regard to agriculture, unless she has access to clean energy and water, she may not be able to attend the training program of the agriculture project fully. While projects can be compartmentalized, humans cannot be.
Further, rarely do project designs analyse developments in the area, like emergence of a polluting industry which could affect the soil on the one hand, to cottage industries for women which could support poor women who also engage in agriculture. As a result, space for gender transformation shrinks or expands
The argument is for project design, implementation and evaluation to wear an intersectional, intersectoral, development lens.
