这篇文章是根据利兹大学资助的博士论文进行的研究结果。研究的重点是生活在西约克郡的妇女寻求庇护者和难民的行动和经历。本文件承认，妇女所处的环境可能会造成一些障碍，但同时审视了她们在个人和集体层面的行动和做法。它表明，有些妇女能够利用现有资源，并参与各种活动，这些活动不仅有助于她们自己在东道国社会定居，而且还有助于为今后抵达的寻求庇护者和难民建立支助结构。
This article is based on the findings of research undertaken towards a doctoral thesis funded by the University of Leeds. The research focuses upon the actions and experiences of women asylum seekers and refugees living in West Yorkshire. While acknowledging that the context in which women find themselves can present a number of barriers, this paper looks at their actions and practices at the individual and collective levels. It illustrates that some women are able to draw on the resources available, and are engaged in activities that not only assist their own settlement in the host society but also assist the development of support structures for future arrivals of asylum seekers and refugees.
