SYRIAN CRISIS, MIGRATION, WOMEN AND VIOLENCE FROM PERSPECTIVE OF FEMINIST SECURITY STUDIES

Summary/Abstract: In the discipline of International Relations, migration is primarily handled as a matter of security. This perception of security is come into view as a result of politics determined at different levels in the manner of individual, society and the state. However; taken the masculine construction of the discipline of International Relations into consideration, it becomes clear that the phenomenon of “violence”, of which major sufferers are women, is to be tackled with a completely new perspective. Preventing the violence before, while and after the migration is of vital importance in procuring the security of the guest and the host communities and their integration simultaneously. In this article, by referring to the change of security studies and the expanded security agenda, the concepts of migration and violence are examined from a woman-oriented perspective within context of the Syrian crisis and under the framework of the feminist security approach.
