| Summary: | The study on “Understanding Women's Horrors in Refugee Camps
through Silence is My Mother Tongue” explores the psychological and
social challenges faced by women refugees in refugee camps
worldwide. Using a semi fictional narrative from Silence is My Mother
Tongue by Sulaiman Addonia, this study examines the mental health
impacts of displacement and the compounded marginalization of
refugee women in patriarchal societies. It addresses key thematic
issues such as identity construction, resilience, gender-based
violence, female autonomy and social protection. This paper also
critically reviews human rights frameworks and the role of
humanitarian agencies in addressing the needs of female refugees.
The study emphasizes the importance of gender-sensitive policies and
aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on gender justice for
displaced women. Using a literary research paradigm, the paper
discusses how refugee women navigate their experiences in the camps
offering insight into the broader implications for policy and
humanitarian practice. |
