The aim for this research is to understand the immediate and longer-term effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the lives of refugee women in the UK; and how government structures and policies, and non-governmental support influenced integration outcomes for refugee women within the context of Covid-19. Early evidence highlights that refugee and asylum-seeking women have experienced a range of challenges throughout the pandemic, including lack of access to hygiene and sanitary products; declining mental and physical health; poor access to support services and healthcare; and inadequate housing. These were influenced by gender, immigration status and prior traumatic experiences. There are likely to be significant long-term effects of this period on refugees and asylum seekers. Evidence prior to the pandemic suggests that the early experiences of those seeking asylum in the UK can have longer term impacts on integration outcomes.This research will primarily draw on integration literature and theories as a theoretical framework. Specifically, this research will take a multi-dimensional approach, drawing on the concept of refugee opportunity structures, as developed by Phillimore (2020). This research will therefore focus not only on refugee women themselves but also the role of the receiving society in shaping integration outcomes - specifically examining the role of government structures and non-governmental support. The methods used to undertake this research will be informed by feminist and participatory approaches. Methods will include desk-based research, expert and stakeholder interviews, and narrative interviews with refugee women. Refugee women will also be placed at the centre of the research through regular workshops to help guide the research.This research will result in new knowledge of interest and value to a range of academic disciplines including social policy and migration, and also has potential for impact beyond the academic sphere.

这项研究的目的是了解Covid-19大流行对英国难民妇女生活的直接和长期影响;以及政府结构和政策以及非政府支持如何影响Covid-19背景下难民妇女的融合结果。早期证据突出表明，难民和寻求庇护的妇女在整个流行病期间经历了一系列挑战，包括无法获得个人卫生和卫生用品;身心健康状况下降;难以获得支助服务和医疗保健;住房不足。这些受性别、移民身份和先前创伤经历的影响。这一时期可能对难民和寻求庇护者产生重大的长期影响。疫情前的证据表明，在英国寻求庇护者的早期经历可能对融合结果产生长期影响。本研究将主要借鉴融合文献和理论作为理论框架。具体而言，这项研究将采取多维度的方法，借鉴难民机会结构的概念，如Phillimore（2020）所开发的。因此，这项研究将不仅侧重于难民妇女本身，而且侧重于接收社会在形成融合结果方面的作用----特别是审查政府结构和非政府支助的作用。开展这项研究所采用的方法将以女权主义和参与性方法为基础。方法将包括案头研究、专家和利益攸关方访谈以及与难民妇女的叙述式访谈。难民妇女也将通过定期讲习班被置于研究的中心，以帮助指导研究，这项研究将产生对包括社会政策和移徙在内的一系列学科有意义和价值的新知识，并有可能产生学术领域以外的影响。
