Abstract
This article takes a feminist approach to understanding Syrian refugee women’s early settlement experiences in small southwestern Ontario communities. It draws on interviews with Syrian refugee women who arrived in Canada with their families, sometimes without husbands, in 2016–2019. It is argued that the refugee journey and resulting shifts in Syrian women’s reproductive activities, including when they settle in rural/small-town southwestern Ontario, help them find a voice, giving them greater independence and power within their families. This study emphasizes the gendered nature of household production and contributes to literature on social reproduction by exploring the often-overlooked context of refugee resettlement. Findings highlight the necessity for policies that provide better support for refugee women during early settlement.
Keywords:
- gendered household production,
- early settlement experiences,
- Syrian refugee women,
- rural Ontario,
- social reproduction theory
Résumé
Cet article adopte une approche féministe afin de comprendre les premières expériences de réinstalation des réfugiées syriennes dans les petites commautées du sud-ouest de l’Ontario. Il s’appuie sur des entretiens avec des réfugiées syriennes qui sont arrivées au Canada avec leurs familles, parfois sans leurs maris, entre 2016 et 2019. Il soutient que le parcours des réfugiées et les changements qui en résultent des activités reproductives chez les femmes syriennes, y compris quand elles s’établissent dans les régions rurales et les petites villes du sud-ouest de l’Ontario, les aide à trouver leur voix, leur donnant ainsi plus d’indépendance et de pouvoir au sein de leur famille. Cette étude met l’emphase sur la nature genrée de la production domestique et contribue à la literature en ce qui concerne la reproduction sociale au moyen d’une exploration du contexte de l’établissement des personnes réfugiées, souvent négligé. Les résultats soulignent la nécessité de mettre en place des politiques qui offrent un meilleur soutien aux femmes réfugiées lors de leur réinstallation initiale.
