N2 - What would a gender analysis of refugee crises reveal if one expanded
the focus beyond female refugees, and acts of physical violence? This
paper draws on qualitative research conducted in Denmark, Greece,
Jordan, and Turkey in July and August 2016 to spotlight the gendered
kinship, hierarchies, networks, and transactions that affect refugees.
The coping strategies of groups often overlooked in the gender
conversation are examined throughout this study, including those of male
refugees and those making crossings outside of the context of a family
unit. The analysis is theoretically situated at the intersection of
critical humanitarianism and the politics of vulnerability, and rooted
in debates about the feminisation of refugees and corresponding
protection agendas. A key contribution of this work is the ethnographic
tracing of how refugees embody these politics along their journeys. In
closing, the paper sketches out some implications of the findings for
humanitarian practice and identifies avenues for further research.
