在本文中，我探讨了信仰和宗教如何塑造遭受交叉性别暴力 (GBV) 和贩运的被迫移民妇女的复原力。我采用社会建构主义的视角，对临时居住在突尼斯的 10 名非洲民族的 11 名基督徒和 4 名穆斯林流离失所幸存者进行了采访。我首先概述了交叉暴力的经历，以了解流离失所的幸存者能够适应什么，然后描述通往恢复力的信仰之路，有时伴随着精神斗争和未满足的宗教需求。我描述了个人祈祷和与上帝合作的方式，使除了一名幸存者之外的所有人都能应对剥削和通往想象中避难所的危险旅程。我为与被迫流离失所的移民打交道的从业者提供了见解，并强调了为有宗教信仰的流离失所幸存者提供精神支持的重要性。我讨论了这些发现并为未来的研究和实践提供了启示。
In this article, I explore how faith and religion shaped the resilience of forced migrant women subjected to intersecting gender-based violence (GBV) and trafficking. Adopting a social constructivist perspective, I draw upon interviews with 11 Christian and 4 Muslim displaced survivors of 10 African nationalities temporarily residing in Tunisia. I first outline the experiences of intersecting violence to understand what displaced survivors were resilient to, and then describe faith pathways to resilience, sometimes with spiritual struggles and unmet religious needs. I delineate ways in which personal prayers and cooperating with God enabled all but one survivor to cope with exploitation and perilous journeys toward imagined refuge. I offer insights for practitioners working with forced migrants on the move and highlight the importance of spiritual support for displaced survivors who are religious. I discuss the findings and offer implications for future research and practice.
