Georgian immigrant women in Turkey: Ankara case
Öz: This study addresses post-socialist Georgian immigrant women’s lives and experiences as immigrants in Turkey. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many post-Soviet countries had serious threats in terms of economic development and political stability. These countries had to face with high unemployment and privatization because of these problems and also Georgia has been influenced due to these problems. In this way, especially, women of Georgia who try to find better ways for their economic conditions had to leave their homes, families and become a hero for their countries. Georgian female migrants have endured at least two enormous politico-economic changes in their lives: first, the transition from Soviet Georgia to a post-socialist, free market economy; second, the transition from Georgia to Turkey. Georgian women started to migrate since the 1990s to Turkey and Turkey has been a popular destination country for Georgian immigrant women. The reasons are the geographical closeness and flexible visa regime between Georgia and Turkey. The aim of this study is to listen to the personal experiences of immigrant women themselves, understand their working conditions and social life experiences in Turkey.
Anahtar Kelime: Türkiye’deki Gürcü göçmen kadınlar: Ankara örneği
Öz: Bu çalışma Türkiye’deki post-sosyalist Gürcü kadınların yaşamlarını ve göçmenlik deneyimlerini ele almaktadır. Sovyetler Birliği’nin dağılmasından sonra birçok Sovyet sonrası ülke ekonomik kalkınma ve siyasi istikrar açısından ciddi tehditlerle karşı karşıya kaldı. Bu sorunlar nedeniyle bu ülkeler yüksek işsizlik ve özelleştirme ile yüzleşmek zorunda kalmış ve Gürcistan da bu sorunlardan etkilenmiştir. Böylece ekonomik durumlarına daha iyi çözümler bulmaya çalışan Gürcü kadınlar evlerini, ailelerini terk etmek zorunda kalıp ülkelerinin asıl kahramanları olmak zorunda kaldılar. Gürcü kadınlar hayatlarında en az iki büyük politik ve ekonomik değişikliğe göğüs gerdiler. Bunlardan birincisi, Sovyet Gürcistan’dan post-sosyalist serbest piyasa ekonomisine geçiş; ikincisi ise Gürcistan’dan Türkiye’ye geçiş. 1990’lı yıllarından itibaren Gürcü kadınlar Türkiye’ye göç etmeye başlamış ve Türkiye, Gürcü göçmen kadınlar için popüler bir varış ülkesi haline gelmiştir. Bunun nedeni Gürcistan ile Türkiye arasındaki coğrafi yakınlık ve esnek vize rejimidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı göçmen kadınların kişisel deneyimlerini dinlemek ve Türkiye’deki çalışma koşulları ve sosyal yaşam deneyimlerini anlamaktır.
