WOMEN'S MIGRATION FROM COUNTRIES OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION TO THE TURKISH REPUBLIC

Оксана Павлівна Кошулько

Abstract


The article outlines the most common problems of immigrants from the countries of the former Soviet Union in Turkey. An important aspect of immigrants from the countries of the former Soviet Union in Turkey is the presence of violence and abuse in families and Turkish society as a whole. The level of knowledge of the Turkish language in the context of the countries of the former Soviet Union is analyzed. It is substantiated that most women from the countries of the former Soviet Union have a desire to work but do not always have this opportunity due to various circumstances and, therefore, the lack of the opportunity to professionally realize themselves in the host country is one of the most common problems among immigrants from the former USSR in Turkey.
