Room for Women and Girls: Female Voices from Refugees and Migrants in Serbia

Gender plays a significant role when it comes to experiencing forced migration. Whether in countries of origin, transit or destination, gender roles and power inequality especially affect the rights and opportunities of girls and women, disproportionately exposing them to gender-based violence. The experiences of refugee and migrant girls and women within the so called “European migration crisis” reflect these patterns, and the same goes for their stay in Serbia. Mapping these experiences is the focus of this research.
