dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores perspectives of refugee and asylum-seeking women and grassroots organizations on challenges that refugee populations face in Greece and how the local community responds to the emerging needs of the integration. Drawing from more than 11 weeks of research and 25 interviews with the women and grassroots organizations across Athens, in this thesis, I situate the experiences of refugee women and grassroots organizations' work within broader fields of research on migrant and refugee solidarity, deservingness and entitlement, and in the context of broader social and economic policies of Greece. I aim to showcase how refugee women mobilize themselves for change and what roles grassroots organizations and international volunteers play in promoting solidarity, integration and wellbeing.en_US
