women are detained in Germany’s detention camps. All three women represent their

migration is found in its discussion of gender politics within the middle east and how the
effects of war are more than just physical but emotional as well; this referring to how
during the early 2000’s, all these countries were experiencing some form of internal war
or western imperialism.
