| dc.description | <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <p>This paper is an account of my research with Syrian women living in Beirut, Lebanon. I follow the trajectory of Syrian women and the fear and anxiety that has accompanied it, which undermine their mental health. Such a trajectory started with the trauma of the war. It was followed by being forced to leave their homes and possessions to move to Beirut, Lebanon. In Lebanon, these women faced a myriad of challenges, ranging from lack of employment and changes in gender roles and family dynamics, to experiences of discrimination as Syrian refugees from a bureaucratic system that treated them unfairly, and which undermined their hopes of finding opportunities for a better and safer future for their children. These all contribute to their current mental health status, yet again under attack from both the Beirut explosion of 4 August 2020, and by the wide-reaching impacts of COVID-19.</p> </body> </html> | en_US |
