<html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <p>Since the early days of the Syrian Civil War, the presence of Syrians in Turkey has garnered considerable attention. Together with the European Union’s efforts to externalise the perceived problem of incoming Syrians and the consequential positioning of Syrians as unwanted, Turkish official policy labelling Syrians as temporary guests has had profound implications in society. Migration governance works with boundaries imposed from above – boundaries that society at large reproduces to distance itself from the apparent other. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Syrian women, this study discusses the effects of the discursive, symbolic, and social boundaries they face in Turkish society. These boundaries, rooted in relations of tolerance and deservingness, are encountered by women refugees in Turkish public spaces, shaping women’s visibility, self-expression, interactions in society, and daily lives.</p> </body> </html>Pages
