Abstract :The present study addressed the migration experiences of Afghan women that had migrated to the province of Ağrı. In this context, the study exam-ined women’s reasons for migration, the party or parties that had made the decision for migration, the problems they had encountered in the province, the problems they had encountered in the migration process, and the attitudes of the people of Ağrı towards Afghan women. The study employed the semi-structured interview method to hold face-to-face interviews with 18 Afghan women. The study determined that women’s migration mainly stemmed from the war, while establishing a fundamental finding as to how women, who had become the main actor of migration, were affected much more negatively by migration when compared to men.
