“…Vícero respondentek výzkumu tak například uvedlo, že když v televizi mluvila právě Nádija Murádová nebo se referovalo o jejích aktivitách v OSN, islamisté vždy ve zvýšené míře trýznili jezídky z vesnice Kódžó, odkud pochází také samotná Murádová. Kapitolou samou o sobě je pak podle výzkumu skutečnost, že znásilněné jezídky byly sice oficiálně přijaty zpět do svých rodin a komunit, nicméně se znásilněním spojené stigma, pocit studu a ponížení je natolik velké, že jezídské ženy nestojí o jmenovitou publicitu [Foster -Minwalla 2018].…”

“…Přitom se ale ukázalo, že se jedná o akt značně nerovnoměrné směny, kde obě strany něco dávají a od té druhé něco očekávají. Zatímco se však jezídky před médii bolestně obnažují a odkrývají svůj příběh sexuálních otrokyň, novináři jim za to prakticky nic nenabízejí, vyjma vágního příslibu, že podané svědectví zranitelné komunitě pomůže [Foster -Minwalla 2018].…”

The case study of Iraqi Yazidis and their changing gender roles and gender relations as a consequence of armed conflict and forced displacement is based on a field research conducted on the territory of northern Iraq in the Spring 2016. It identifies a complex crisis of Yazidi masculinity as a direct consequence of the armed conflict and forced displacement by the so called Islamic State in the Summer 2014 since Yazidi men have not beet able to fully fulfil their traditional roles and expectations: physically protect their families, women and communities; provide for their livelihood; protect tribal code of honour. Also the tribal and patriarchal authorities are in crisis and alienated from their communities as a direct consequence of the armed conflict, forced displacement and feeling of betrayal on part of the Yazidi population. The forced emancipation of Yazidi women is a direct consequence of the crisis of Yazidi men and an indirect consequence of the armed conflict and forced displacement and as such cannot be understood in isolation from the crisis of the traditional Yazidi manhood. The Yazidi women at least partly fulfil some of the traditional mens' roles like providing livelihood for their families or even participating in the armed struggle against the Islamic State. Redefinition of domestic violence, divorce, and status of women liberated from the sexual slavery is also under way. However, the new dialectics between the crisis of the traditional masculinity and the emancipation of Yazidi women set in motion as a consequence of the armed conflict and forced displacement can become a self-sustaining mechanism even after the forces that have set it in motion disappear.

“…Many grow frustrated by interviewers (including journalists and academics) who "take our stories", a wording that appears in both Foster and Minwalla (2018. p.59) and Andersson (2014, p.48). Foster and Minwalla's (2018) research found that Yezidi women who survived ISIS captivity felt pressure to talk to journalists undermining their personal and emotional security as well as that of their relatives. At the same time, they believed it was their duty to share their experiences, even though their expectations for international humanitarian and military responses to their stories were greatly unmet, and they had no recourse to hold anyone accountable for unmet promises and expectations.…”

“…They have the financial means, institutional organizational support, and necessary legal documents required to engage with refugees' situations at relative will and then return 'home'. This power differential is highlighted in quote from Foster and for(e)dialogue Minwalla (2018)'s Yezidi participants about journalistic attention: "they come from everywhere, and they take our stories and they don't do anything for us" (p. 59).…”

This PDF includes the editorial and all the articles published in this Special Issue on (Forced) Migration and Media. This issue is the result of two workshops organised at the University of Leicester: a workshop on (Forced) Migration and Media-research that took place on the 13th of June 2016 and a Community Impact event that was organised on the 18th of July, 2016. These workshops were a response to the topical interest for refugees’ access to digital technology and the dehumanizing language used in, especially but not limited to British, media regarding migrants and/or refugees (Berry, Garcia-Blanco, & Moore, 2015). (Forced) was purposefully bracketed as the label ‘refugee’ has its own difficulties. The differentiation between economic and forced migrants for instance negates that reasons behind migration are often multi-causal and multi-layered. It reinforces thinking in dichotomies that homogenizes and tends to negate in-between complexities, as is often appropriated as a governing tool to victimize, exclude and curtail the rights of human beings (Crawley & Skleparis, 2017; Lindley, 2010; Zetter, 2007). In this editorial, we reflect upon the main outcomes of the workshop we and other PhD-colleagues organised on the 13th of June, 2016, and connect them to the articles within this Special Issue.
