Navigating Displaced Women’s Protection in the Muslim world
This article critically analyses the role of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in assisting women in conflict and displacement, focusing on its political commitments and institutional capacities. Moving away from Eurocentric models of refugee governance, it centres on a Global South actor—the OIC, a cross-regional institution bringing together 57 countries. The study uses multi-methods, including interdisciplinary semi-structured lite…
Gender and Forced Displacement in Islam
While extensive scholarship exists on gender in Islam and asylum in Islam as separate domains, little attention has been given to their intersection. The specific risks and challenges faced by displaced women—who are disproportionately affected by conflict and displacement – are often overlooked in scholarship on Islam and forced displacement, which frequently adopts a gender-neutral approach, paying limited attention to the Islamic tradition’s e…
Encounters with kindness
While much attention is given to understanding the nature of the sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) encountered by forced migrants, far less focus is placed on the actions and experiences that enable them to cope with violence. In this paper, we adopt a novel perspective examining forced migrants’ accounts of kind encounters with strangers who are not obligated to offer assistance. We draw on 166 semi-structured interviews with forced migran…
Adaptive religious coping with experiences of sexual and gender-based violence and displacement
This article examines the religious coping strategies among forced migrant women survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). While it is acknowledged that faith and religion help people to survive crises, the patterns of religious coping with SGBV and displacement are little understood. I explore how displaced women use their faith and religious resources to cope with SGBV and migration-related daily stressors. Using qualitative methods…
Gender-based violence, religion and forced displacement
Introduction This paper examines the relationship between gender-based violence (GBV) and religion in a range of forced displacement contexts. While it has been acknowledged that religion frequently shapes experiences of GBV survivors, little is known about the influences of religion on GBV experiences in forced displacement and its potential role in strengthening interventions. Methods Utilizing empirical evidence from 58 interviews from the SER…
On the Significance of Religion in Violence Against Women and Girls
In this ground-breaking volume, the authors explore two sides of religion: the ways in which it contributes to violence against women and girls (VAWG), and the ways it counters it. Aware of the very real impact religion has on the lives of women and girls, it prioritises experiences and learnings from empirical research and of practitioners, and their activities at grassroots-level, to better understand the nature and root causes of VAWG. Drawing…
God Helped Us
In this article, I explore how faith and religion shaped the resilience of forced migrant women subjected to intersecting gender-based violence (GBV) and trafficking. Adopting a social constructivist perspective, I draw upon interviews with 11 Christian and 4 Muslim displaced survivors of 10 African nationalities temporarily residing in Tunisia. I first outline the experiences of intersecting violence to understand what displaced survivors were r…
We are Forgotten”
Adopting a structural violence approach, this article explores, with survivors and practitioners, how early coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic conditions affected forced migrant sexual and gender-based violence survivors' lives. Introducing a new analytical framework combining violent abandonment, slow violence, and violent uncertainty, we show how interacting forms of structural violence exacerbated by pandemic conditions intensified existing ine…
