“…Ethnography is an oft-used tool when working with the refugee/asylum seeker community (c.f. Maryns 2006;Holzer 2012;Nwosu and Barnes 2014). However, this research was not a straightforward ethnography, as the inner workings of the group as a culture were not under investigation, but rather the culture of the group was important as a background to the participants' experiences.…”

Integration through participation: The effects of participating in an English Conversation club on refugee and asylum seeker integration Abstract: The integration of refugees/asylum seekers is a complex process that is affected by factors such as reasons for fleeing one's home country, linguistic proficiency, education, housing issues, and reception from the host community. While past research has focused on these issues, there is a lack of attention on the development of practical and psychological integration skills through participation in a social space of mutual accommodation (Berry 2005). This article fills this gap by analysing the relationship between mutual accommodation and integration in relation to spaces for language acquisition and the resulting impact of participation. This study illustrates, from the migrant perspective, how language acquisition in terms of resettlement not only focuses on linguistic proficiency but also on how such spaces provide a supportive place of refuge and support. This research underscores a deeper discussion of the migrant new speaker profile, providing evidence for ways in which to broaden an understanding of this key shift away from previously held notions of the native versus non-native individual. Ethnographic research was conducted in two UK-based conversation clubs. Data analysis followed Braun and Clarke's (2006) Thematic Analysis structure.

“…Local women's groups/civil society A series of papers detailed the active engagement of local grassroots women's groups' efforts to foment accountability for services in humanitarian settings [56][57][58]. Susskind (2011) describes a women's group that was founded by and for rape survivors, which advocated for their self-identified needs and political demands [58].…”

Accountability strategies for sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights in humanitarian settings: a scoping review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Many of the 35 million women and girls aged 15-49 requiring humanitarian assistance have inadequate access to the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services to which they are entitled. Ensuring accountability is critical to realizing their SRH and reproductive rights (RR). Objectives: This scoping review examines the extent and nature of existing evidence on accountability strategies for SRH in humanitarian settings in different geographical scopes/contexts, and contextualizes these findings in the larger thematic literature. This review seeks to answer the following questions: What accountability strategies are employed to address the availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality of SRH in humanitarian settings? What do we know about the successes and challenges of the given strategies? What are the implications for practice? Methods: We consulted public health, social science, and legal databases including SCOPUS, PubMed, ProQuest, and LexisNexis for peer-reviewed articles, as well as Google Advanced search for grey literature; the search was conducted in March 2019. We searched for relevant articles and documents relating to accountability, humanitarian, and SRH and/or RR. To identify key challenges not reflected in the literature and additional grey literature, 18 key informants from international NGOs, local government bodies, academia, and donor agencies were interviewed from March-June 2019.

“…Others focus on single-country or single-nationality approaches to understanding forcible displacement, territorially-bounded studies within countries of origin, within refugee camps or countries of asylum (e.g. see Holzer, 2012;Stewart, 2012). This paper takes the approach of outlining different stages of displacement, outlining the processes of being constructed as and becoming a 'refugee', 'asylum seeker' and other labels such as being a 'victim' of 'trafficking'.…”

Abstract:This paper aims to consider the experiences of displaced women and children throughout the experience of displacement and the issue of trust (or mistrust) throughout this journey towards future emplacement. Issues around trust and mistrust in conflict situations and considerations around interpersonal and broader based gender-based violence in politicised contexts are explored. Various stages of displacement are viewed and, through the use of examples, from experiences within refugee camps, reception in host countries and resettlement in countries of asylum insights into the lived experiences of displaced women and children are provided. This paper therefore draws upon research projects and practitioner experience, including research carried out within refugee camps, in the UK on the dispersal of asylum seekers, qualitative research into agency responses to the trafficking of children and young people, plus a scoping study involving qualitative research into non-statutory understandings of trafficking.
