This study explores the career construction and higher education opportunities and challenges faced by Syrian refugee women in Türkiye through semi-structured interviews with 40 women enrolled at a public university. Findings reveal significant challenges in career construction and higher education stemming from the intersectionality of gender and refugee status, including job market discrimination, increased housework and caregiving responsibilities, and moral concerns about independent women. The study also identifies opportunities for empowerment through women’s rights, autonomy, equality, and self-sufficiency. It contributes to refugee studies, higher education, and integration by acknowledging the transformative potential of education and employment for Syrian refugee women.

Résumé
Cette étude explore les opportunités et les défis en matière de développement de carrière et d‘éducation supérieure auxquels sont confrontées les réfugiées syriennes en Turquie, à travers des entretiens semistructurés avec 40 femmes inscrites dans une université publique. Les résultats indiquent des défis importants en ce qui concerne le développement de carrière et les études supérieures, qui découlent de l’intersection entre le genre et le statut de réfugié, notamment la discrimination sur le marché du travail, l’augmentation des tâches ménagères et des responsabilités en matière de soins, ainsi que des préoccupations morales à l’égard des femmes indépendantes. L’étude identifie également des possibilités d’empouvoirement à travers les droits des femmes, l’autonomie, l’égalité et l’autosuffisance. Elle contribue aux études sur les réfugiés, à l’enseignement supérieur et à l’intégration en reconnaissant le potentiel transformatif de l’éducation et de l’emploi pour les réfugiées syriennes.
