Abstract
According to the United Nations Refugee Agency, there are approximately 21.3 million refugees worldwide, about half of whom are female. Although all refugees face challenges, female refugees face unique situations and struggles which can make them particularly vulnerable. Victimization of female refugees can take place at various points during their migration experience, including before leaving their home country, in a refugee camp, upon arrival in their receiving country, and after resettlement in their receiving country. There are also different types of victimization that may be experienced, including physical and mental/emotional victimization. In order to help female refugees cope with experiences of past victimization and avoid future victimization, agencies and refugees can work together to discuss and identify cultural differences, especially those regarding gender roles, so that female and male refugees are afforded equal rights within their receiving country community.
