“…However, a comparative study between Syrians in camp and non-campsettings in Iraq found that refugees in camps are better off, particularly in terms of access to food, education, registration and employment [56]. Financial issues were the primary problem in Turkey, which may be associated with widespread informal work and low payment due to the temporary protection status [57]. Even though Turkey adopted the Regulation on Work Permits for Foreigners under Temporary Protection in 2016, access to the labour market remained challenging and exploitation and discrimination, also described in our study, as well as harassment occur frequently [19].…”

Background Syrian refugees and asylum seekers (SRAs) face multiple stressors after flight, which may vary due to different geographic, economic, cultural and socio-political contexts in the host countries. Past research has recognised the importance of participants’ own perspectives. The aims of this multi-country study were to identify and compare self-reported problems of SRAs between various settings. Methods A semi-structured client-generated outcome measurement was used to collect data among adult SRAs in Jordan (N = 61), Turkey (N = 46) and Switzerland (N = 57) between September 2018 and November 2019. Answers were analysed following thematic analysis. Results Over half of the participants reported practical problems with an emphasis on camp-related problems (Jordan), finances (Turkey), employment (Jordan and Switzerland) and government regulations (Switzerland), followed by psychological, and social issues. Conclusion This study highlights the impact of local contextual factors on wellbeing. The findings emphasise that planning preventative procedures and mental health care services for SRAs need to consider local challenges affecting the population in specific countries.

“…Vulnerable groups, such as refugees, may also be involved. For example, in Turkey, Kivilcim () noted the increase in child marriage involving Syrian refugees and Turkish men . Although less common, conflict settings can make girls vulnerable as well; they can be abducted for marriage or handed over to militias and warlords (Turner, ).…”

“…In Turkey, for example, where child brides have been subject to ongoing debate by academics and in the Parliament, children under 18 are legally protected by national laws that prohibit forced marriage, and that require spouses to be at least 17 years old (16‐year‐olds are allowed to marry only with a court decision in specific circumstances). Yet child brides can be seen especially in the eastern part of Turkey, and Syrian girls are also commonly married under 18 (Kivilcim, ).…”

In this article, we argue that the early and/or forced marriage of girls under 18 should be understood, in part, as an exploitive form of child labor. We describe the types and conditions of labor that are commonly experienced by child brides and we examine the strengths and weaknesses of current international laws to adequately address the issue. We also argue that the problem of child brides should be addressed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) as one of the worst forms of child labor. Finally, we suggest the ILO Convention No. 182 (known as the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention) as a legal mechanism. The convention offers one possible way to help to raise awareness in families and across societies about the harms of child marriage and provide for criminal and civil sanctions as tools to combat it.
