Women on the road

The project focused on women migrants forced to migrate due to wars, economic problems, natural disasters, and other reasons. The project has tried to witness how the migrant women tried to hold their family together and established new relationships in new cities and countries, in foreign and new social circles. In addition to the meetings held at Berlin and Izmir, the research trip to Gaziantep on December 6-9, 2013 have provided an opportunity for the team to meet with the migrant/refugee women. During the project, fairy tale nights, music and dance workshops were organized with the women migrating to Turkey and Germany from Syria and Lebanon, and biographical workshops were held by using documentary theater technique. A documentary film was produced at the end of the project. The film was screened at Sanatölye Varyant, Izmir on October 8, 2014. Project website: www.womenontheroad.org
