This study is based on two main beliefs. First, processes of immigrant integration must be understood not solely in terms of economic or social integration but also in terms of the individual?s feeling of well-being and belonging. This means that individual perception is the main gateway into understanding how an individual can feel integrated into a new society. Second, individual identities and characteristics, such as gender, class, religion, etc., are crucial when considering social processes (following the intersectional concept in gender studies). Considering the results of this study, this thesis develops our understanding of the main institutional and social constraints experienced by refugee women in Geneva. It then addresses the experiences of inclusion/exclusion of three clusters of women, considering their various identities and characteristics. Finally, it examines two main identity strategies used by the women to make sense of their new lives. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Vahabzadeh Foundation for financially supporting the publication of best works by young researchers of the Graduate Institute, giving a priority to those who have been awarded academic prizes for their master?s dissertations. 606 $aMigration, immigration & emigration$2bicssc 610 $amigration and refugees 610 $amigration policy 610 $ainternational refugee protection 610 $agovernance 610 $ademocracy 610 $aimmigration 610 $awork 610 $awomen 610 $astigma 615 7$aMigration, immigration & emigration 700 $aGagnebin$b Estelle$01297830 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495936603321 996 $aNarrations of Belonging and Unbelonging of Refugee Women in Geneva$93024709 997 $aUNINA
