Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to explain the effects of migration, especially on women's health, and to compile the struggles experienced in this complex process, gender inequality and the effects of migration on health of women, who are the most victims of migration. Migration brings with it a variety of challenges to women's health, but it also reveals the battle for survival. During migration, women have to cope with violence, abuse, trauma and barriers to accessing health services. In addition, the impact of migration on women's social roles and sexual and reproductive health should not be forgotten. This review aims to raise awareness of migrant women's health problems and proposes solutions by describing migrant women's interactions with health systems, the challenges they face in this process and the roles of health professionals.

Özet

Göçün, özellikle kadın sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerini anlatmak ve bu karmaşık süreç içinde yaşanan mücadeleleri, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğini ve göçün en fazla mağduru olan kadınların sağlığına etkilerini derlemek bu çalışmanın temel amacını oluşturmaktadır. Göç, kadınların sağlığına yönelik çeşitli zorlukları beraberinde getirirken, aynı zamanda mücadele için verilen savaşı da gözler önüne sermektedir. Kadınlar, göç sırasında şiddet, istismar, travma ve sağlık hizmetlerine ulaşma konusundaki engellerle başa çıkmak zorunda kalmaktadır. Ayrıca, göçün kadınların toplumsal rolleri, cinsel ve üreme sağlığı üzerindeki etkileri de unutulmamalıdır. Bu derleme, göçmen kadınların sağlık sistemleriyle olan etkileşimlerini, bu süreçte karşılaştıkları zorlukları ve sağlık çalışanlarının rollerini anlatarak göçmen kadınların sağlık sorunlarına yönelik farkındalığı artırmayı hedeflemekte ve çözüm yollarını önermektedir.
