What I Learned

  • Young women had strong identities

– Educational goals – Family roles – Community connections – Reinterpreting culture

  • Barriers to identity formation came from

poverty and policy, not culture

Why is this important?

  • Women use agency to strategically construct

identities

  • How we understand this process affects what

we do to support refugees as they resettle in RI

  • Barriers identified through this research have

policy solutions
