Mutfaklar üzerinden Suriyeli mülteci kadınların dayanışma ağları

The primary purpose of this study is to analyze how the kitchens established to facilitate the integration process of Syrian refugee women affect the integration process of Syrian refugee women through the narratives of women, kitchen founders and volunteers. Local integration projects, and non-governmental organizations play a crucial role in filling the gap in this area, as integration policies that take into account the gender issue are wholly insufficient in Turkey. This study demonstrates how local integration projects and relevant non-governmental organizations contribute to the integration process by focusing on kitchens in different cities. In the study, semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews were conducted using the qualitative method. Through these interviews, the motivations of the kitchens, their contribution to the integration process, their limitations, and the power relationships between the institutions they cooperated with were tried to be analyzed. The data obtained as a result of the interviews point out that the kitchens contribute significantly to the integration process of Syrian refugee women and ease the establishment of solidarity networks among women. However, the power relations with the institutions which these kitchens cooperate can both negatively affect the sustainability of the kitchens and keep contributing to the integration process within a limited framework.
