Forced Migration based Upon the Experiences of Female Sufferers: Diyarbakır City Case Study

An unexpected and disorganised influx of displaced people from the rural areas of the south and southeast of Turkey, from 1990 through 2000 in particular, to the nearby urban places and to metropolises resulted in severe social traumatic experiences for all those involved in the process. For this reason, Diyarbakır city was chosen as study area. The problems encountered by the female population in the aftermath of forced migration were handled with the help of the interview method, one of the commonest methods of quality. 13 women altogether were interviewed and the data obtained from these informants form the basis of the results of this study. The data obtained by interviewing were evaluated thoroughly through a content analysis.
