Türkiye, in its role as a transit nation, has emerged as a significant destination for Afghan migrants. Women migrants face heightened challenges during the migratory process and are subject to various forms of oppression in the countries they migrate to. Intersectionality, a foundational concept in feminist theory, provides a crucial framework for analysing the interplay between migration and gender. In this study, which aims to analyse the urban life experiences of female migrants on the basis of gender and migration, the urban life experiences of Afghan women living in Erzincan were examined through qualitative research and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that migration and adaptation processes of migrant women are made more difficult by intersecting dynamics such as gender, class belonging and migrant identity.}, number={32}, publisher={Kafkas Üniversitesi}
