Across Borders: How Global Migration Works | Ep 5. Gendered Inequalities: refugees in Jordan by European University Institute

Gendered Inequalities: women in Jordanian refugee camps

Gender is a powerful force shaping the lived experiences of refugees. The fifth episode of Across Borders takes us to Jordan where we explore the gendered experiences of Syrian refugees in the Azraq and Za’tari camps. Our guest, social anthropologist Melissa Gatter from the University of Sheffield, describes the link between gender, violence and opportunities in refugee camps and explores the constraints faced by governments, civil society groups and international organisations in addressing these issues.

Across Borders: How Migration Politics Work is a podcast on the complexities of global migration. Made by students of the MA in Transnational Governance at the EUI in Florence, the five episodes see experts tackle some of the most pressing issues in today.
