WAR, MIGRATION AND WOMEN Kurdish Archaeologist Zaze Mahabadi Wrote
Millions of people had to migrate after the war in Syria. People primarily struggled to survive. Undoubtedly, those who suffered the most from this migration were women and children. It still is. These migration stories I have heard and witnessed are heartbreaking.
Some of them were published in the press and social media. Even though it is reflected, the darker tragedies are always hidden and swept under the carpet.
All of this is a tragedy. It is undoubtedly the most painful thing to watch and witness. Tragedy recreates the tragic things in life itself through art and reflects them. It is explained like this, but we see it every day, we witness them on the stage of life.
Women and migration I would like to share a few of the tragedies that I witnessed firsthand. I want you to know how much pain was experienced.
I met a 17-year-old fair-looking girl. Her husband is 65 years old and has 4 wives. While she was running away from Syria, the man who would be her husband said he would save her. By the way, his current wife is his father's former partner. The way he saves her is by making her into sand." She said, "While I was going to the same school with his children until two years ago, now I am his wife."
The second woman's story is more wrenching. She was detained by her neighbor, her husband's jewelery shop was robbed, she was kidnapped and forced into marriage. "Our worker working with us did it," he said.
Again, these are the ones who consider themselves lucky. There are also women who are not as lucky as these, who are forced into the swamp of prostitution and who are forced to work just to make ends meet.
These crimes against humanity are managed and managed by all kinds of mafia and rich barons in Turkey. Moreover, it is obvious.
Since wars and migrations injure and destroy women the most. While these are happening, women are losing their femininity and people are losing their humanity.
