Özet

The resilience experiences of women during conflict and displacement offer valuable insights into the gendered dimensions of resilience, particularly given the protracted nature of conflicts, their wide-reaching impact, and situational complexity. Since the onset of the wars in Syria and Ukraine, refugee women have acquired significant experience and played a central role in fostering resilience – both within war-affected regions and during cross-border mobility and asylum in host countries. Drawing on fieldwork findings, the lived experiences of Syrian and Ukrainian refugee women, and critical literature, this chapter introduces an engendered understanding of resilience in times of conflict. It explores the resilience practices and strategies employed by refugee women to foster both local and cross-border resilience. The study highlights gendered, bottom-up resilience practices developed by displaced women, mobilized at strategic, social, informal, and survival levels. Lessons learned from these women provide valuable insights for advancing gender-informed societal resilience planning within NATO and its member states.
