After the outbreak of the conflict in 2011, millions of people fled Syria across its borders. This gave way to a new category of people, “Syrian refugees.” While this categorical understanding constitutes the basis for legal entitlements, it homogenizes all fleeing Syria and results in concealing the differential experiences and vulnerabilities of particular groups. The paper challenges this blanket categorization by focusing on the migration experiences of Palestinian women from Syria to Türkiye around the concepts of biological and social reproduction which represent the largely neglected aspects concerning the process of forced migration. By drawing on six women’s experiences, the paper concludes that the homogeneity of the Syrian migrants is an illusion; women’s migrations are shaped through their gendered and ethnic history; and women face gender-specific challenges and opportunities in both home and host countries. We particularly argue that policies on border control and migrant’s integration fail to consider the subjective conditions and needs of particular groups within the Syrian migrants.

对巴勒斯坦难民妇女从叙利亚移民到土耳其经历的性别分析

2011年冲突爆发后，数百万人逃离叙利亚边境。这让位于一种新的人群：“叙利亚难民”。虽然这种明确的理解构成了法律权利的基础，但它使所有逃离叙利亚的人变得同质化，并导致掩盖了特定群体的不同经历和脆弱性。本文挑战了这种笼统的分类，重点关注巴勒斯坦妇女从叙利亚到土耳其的移民经历，围绕生物和社会再生产的概念，这些概念代表了强迫移民过程中很大程度上被忽视的方面。通过借鉴六位女性的经历，本文得出的结论是，叙利亚移民的同质性只是一种幻觉；妇女的移徙是由她们的性别和种族历史决定的；妇女在母国和东道国都面临着特定性别的挑战和机遇。我们特别认为，有关边境管制和移民融入的政策未能考虑叙利亚移民中特定群体的主观条件和需求。
