Abstract

There is limited evidence regarding the ways in which displacement disrupts social norms, expectations and trajectories for adolescent girls and young women and the resulting impacts on their risks of violence. This knowledge gap is especially marked with regards to Syrian adolescent girls and young women seeking refuge in Turkey. This study explores the risks of gender-based violence against Syrian adolescent girls and young women in Turkey and examines how these risks were shaped by their displacement.
