Abstract :
This study aims to focus on the narratives of women who were forced to migrate from Kuwait to Pakistan in August 1992 and explore their psychosocial challenges and the impact on their mental health and well-being. The research questions were: What type of problems did immigrant women faced during forced migration and describe their psychological and social experiences after coming to another place? How do forced migrant women adapt to another culture in their bodies, their skin, their clothes and their language? Narrative Research Design (Creswell, 2013) was employed to understand the stories of women who migrated from Kuwait and five participants were recruited for In-depth Interviews. Semi structured interviews were conducted to collect data and later analyzed through thematic narrative analysis. In conclusion, the journey of these forced migrants started from a luxurious life and ended with struggles to adjust in their host countries after surviving constant threat of rape and abduction. Recommendations include further research specifically regarding the aftermath of forced migrant’s journey.
