Arab Refugee Women - Winter/Spring 2008 - Issues 120-121

Vol. 40 (2016)

This edition of Al-Raida seeks to encourage better listening, observing, and understanding of the world of refugee women. It aims to bring into focus their strengths, the obstacles they face, and their coping strategies. It is our hope that throughout these pages, the human voice of the refugee woman can be heard and celebrated, in its many forms. To these ends, art, poetry, and narratives have been scattered between more formal academic reflections.
