Empowerment of Humanitarian Workers in the Context of Migration and Conflict: A Case Study from Izmir, Turkey

Abstract

Abstract
Since Syrian crisis started in 2011, people who are affected from the conflict have been seeking asylum from neighbouring countries. Turkey now hosts the largest population of Syrian refugees in the world which is about 3.6 million. Not possessing experience of dealing with many refugees from the past, the government of Turkey, international and local non-governmental organizations have taken action as emergency response to the crisis. Most local non-governmental organizations with the funds from the government, the EU and the UN have provided services in almost every sector such as protection, education, employment and health. However, the majority of the humanitarian workers who are actively operating in the field possess the academic background to be able perform social work at professional level, therefore it is necessary to empower them with the techniques that can facilitate their work in the field. This paper offers an overlook to empowerment of the HWs through a training session focusing on conflict mapping technique in order to raise the awareness of the HWs about the basic concepts of conflictology and provide them a technique with a practical value to facilitate their work in the field.

Suriye
krizinin 2011 yılında başlamasından bu yana, çatışmadan etkilenen bireyler
komşu ülkelerden sığınma talebinde bulunmaktadır. Türkiye şu anda yaklaşık 3,6
milyon Suriyeli bireye ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Geçmişten günümüze bu denli
büyük bir mülteci akını ile başa çıkma deneyimine sahip olmayan Türkiye’de;
hükümet, uluslararası ve ulusal sivil toplum örgütleri krize müdahale
etmektedirler. Ulusal kaynaklar, AB ve BM'den fon alan yerel sivil toplum örgütlerinin
çoğu koruma, eğitim, istihdam ve sağlık gibi hemen hemen her sektörde hizmet
vermektedir. Bununla birlikte, sahada aktif olarak faaliyet gösteren insani yardım
çalışanların çoğunluğu, sosyal hizmet uygulaması yapabilmek için akademik
geçmişe ve mesleki yeterliliğe sahip değildir. Bu nedenle onları sahadaki
çalışmalarını kolaylaştırabilecek tekniklerle güçlendirmek gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma,
çatışma dönüşümünün temel kavramları hakkında insani yardım çalışanlarının
farkındalığını artırmak ve onlara çalışmalarını kolaylaştırmak için uygulamalı
bir teknik sağlamak amacıyla, çatışma haritalama tekniğine odaklanan bir eğitim
aracılığıyla insani yardım çalışanlarının güçlendirilmesine bir bakış
sunmaktadır.
