Resettlement Experience in Québec: Arts-Based Approaches to Work with Refugee Girls
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Canada has a long history of immigration and has been and remains to be the new home for millions of people from all over the world.From 2016 to 2021, over 1.3 million immigrants settled permanently in Canada and 218,430 of them were new refugees.Over the past five years, Québec has emerged as one of the leading provinces in Canada in terms of accepting a significant number of refugees and is committed to offering respect, equality, and protection to the people who are displaced, persecuted or in danger including refugee girls and young women.The conditions of refugees in Québec can vary widely depending on various factors such as their legal status, access to services, and individual circumstances and the province has implemented initiatives to assist refugees in finding housing, accessing education, and securing employment opportunities.However, there are few programs for adolescent refugee girls and young women.For instance, while a large number of non-profit organizations (NGOs) in the province support the resettlement and integration of refugees, the number of programs that target the specific needs and challenges of adolescent girls and young women is limited.This study examines the resettlement experiences of girls and young women with refugee backgrounds in Québec.The broad question that guides this study is: How do adolescent refugee girls and young women experience resettlement?To achieve this goal, the study has three main objectives.Firstly, it seeks to gain insights into the issues affecting adolescent refugee girls' well-being.Secondly, it utilizes photovoice, as a research tool, to examine their lived experiences and concerns, amplifying their voices.Lastly, it explores the participatory aspect of photovoice beyond data collection by involving the participants in the data analysis process.Situated within the framework of Girlhood Studies, this research aims to provide valuable insights Chapter 4: Adolescent Refugee Girls and Young Women in Québec: Telling the Stories of Resettlement through Photovoice 11 Despite a large body of research on migration, the resettlement experience of adolescent refugee girls and young women has remained understudied.Inspired by the main tenets of Girlhood Studies and Participatory Visual and Arts-based methodology, the current study aims to shed light on the issues and challenges of this specific population and the solutions to these issues.Specifically, the study examined 1) What are the issues and challenges of adolescent refugee girls and young women after resettlement in Québec?2)What are the solutions that can address these issues?To answer these questions, nine adolescent girls and young women between the ages of 14 to 24 used photovoice to capture photos and create poster-narratives to share their resettlement stories in Québec.The results show that while the participants feel physically safe after resettlement, they struggle with several challenges, including discrimination, mental health issues, financial issues, and educational barriers.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
