“…In contrast, the Refugee Policy of Europe also supported Asylum. Still, it possessed specific different cores because, per their refugee policy, "the Asylum seeker must apply legally in the country where he/she first entered Europe", and the Asylum could only be provided to the population that demanded protection from the European Government [18]. On exploring the core association between Romanian and European Refugee Policy established that Article 15 is the standard linkage, as this article states that "as the Convention Refugee possessed the legal right to stay on the national soil while receiving all the necessary documents while having education all of the support" and this particular article included in the cores of Romanian Law on the Status of Refugees alongside with key integration in European Refugee Policy [19].…”

“…Several scholars have carried out different research studies about the status of females in general and female refugees in particular. Some of the studies discussed the representation of women in media (Abid, 2020;Ghazal Aswad, 2019;Haider & Olimy, 2019;Mustafa-Awad et al, 2019;Mustafa-Awad & Kirner-Ludwig, 2017;Narlı et al, 2020;Narlı & Özaşçılar, 2019). However, most of these studies did not pay considerable attention to how female refugees are stereotyped in national news agencies that publish mainly in Arabic.…”

“…This study contributes to the growing body of studies about the representation of refugees in general and female refugees in particular in media. Different studies have investigated the representation of minority groups, including refugees from different points of view: linguistically, discursively, politically, and socially (Abid, 2020;Ghazal Aswad, 2019;Haider & Olimy, 2019;Mustafa-Awad et al, 2019;Mustafa-Awad & Kirner-Ludwig, 2017;Narlı et al, 2020;Narlı & Özaşçılar, 2019). For example, Narlı et al (2020) examined the Turkish media coverage of Syrian women refugees from 2013 to 2015, and "identified 13 types of gender-based problems, and explored six main frames outlining these gender-based problems with specific perspectives of victim, criminal, threat, state of war and displacement, human, and remedy" (p. 15).…”

“…In this study, the researchers examine whether such negativity is associated with Syrian refugees in the reporting of Jordan and Lebanon news agencies. Narlı and Özaşçılar (2019) explored the construction of the health of Syrian women and children who fled to Turkey in Turkish local and national media outlets between 2013 and 2015. The study revealed that the Turkish media reported different health problems related to refugee conditions from a humanitarian perspective with a focus on remedies.…”

Media Coverage of Syrian Female Refugees in Jordan and Lebanon

2021

Jordan and Lebanon are among the predominantly affected countries by the Syrian civil war that began after the outbreak of the Arab Spring in 2011. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Syrians, including women and children, moved to these two countries. As media plays an integral role in shaping societies and framing the world around us, this study explores the representation of Syrian female refugees in Jordan News Agency (Petra) and Lebanon National News Agency (NNA). It uses a 13-million-word corpus of Arabic news articles from 2012 to 2016. These 5 years represent the peak of the Syrian refugee crisis, and the media coverage of it was extensive and thorough. Adopting a corpus-assisted discourse approach to analyze the data yielded eight main categories that were recurrent in the news of the two agencies, namely, suffering, sexual exploitation, impact on the local female community, awareness-raising, making a living, support, vulnerability, and burden. The findings revealed that the focus in Petra news was mainly on empowering the Syrian female refugees, while NNA highlighted Syrian women’s suffering and efforts of alleviation. The study recommends that the governments of Jordan and Lebanon as well as international organizations provide more support and protection for vulnerable and disadvantaged refugee women. It also stresses the need for psychosocial support, counter-trafficking, protection, and women empowerment programs.

“…Many of the studies on the representation of refugees explore the themes and topics in representations to understand how the refugee problem is framed and discussed (Pickering, 2000;Nyers, 2006;Johnson, 2011;Erdoğan, 2015;Doğanay and Keneş, 2016a;Efe, 2019). Fewer of them focus on how other vulnerable groups within refugee communities, such as women, are further victimised through representation (Doğanay, 2016b;Mert Elmas and Paksoy, 2020;Narlı et al 2020;Narlı and Özaşçılar, 2021). And much less of them consider the specific representational practices employed in portraying women refugees, which some studies did for refugee groups in general (Malkki, 1997;Mannik, 2012;Bleiker et al, 2013;Greenwood and Thomson, 2019).…”

This paper studies the news images of Syrian women refugees and the representational practices employed in them to question how these portraying practices position women refugees, and in so doing how they act as a support or barrier for their social acceptance and inclusion in the host community. Analysed are the newspaper photographs of Syrian women refugees published in top-selling four Turkish newspapers in 2015. Using a content analysis fed by visual analysis, the ways of visually portraying women refugees is studied by investigating the representational elements and practices in the images, which are subject, theme, camera distance, camera angle and location. The findings reveal that Syrian women refugees are underrepresented and in the rare cases of their appearance, the way they are portrayed position them as distant, passive and depersonalised subjects as part of the masses. The underrepresentation and depersonalisation of women refugees, who are among the vulnerable women group 1) erase the individual life stories and varied lived experiences of women refugees from public imagination and deny the female refugee agency, 2) prevent the emergence of the public talk on the women refugee problems, which in turn 3) prevent the formation of a social understanding and empathy towards women refugees. Thus, it is argued that the ways in which Syrian women refugees are portrayed in the media act as barriers for their social inclusion.
