Dom Migrants From Syria “Living at the Bottom” On the Road amid Poverty and Discrimination-Present Situation Analysis Report by Hacer Foggo and Kemal Vural Tarlan
Syrian Doms are another fragile group of migrants in Turkey. It is estimated that 50,000 Doms have migrated to Turkey as a result of the civil war in Syria that has been going on for five years as of 2016. In addition to the general hardships experienced by Syrian migrants, this community experiences discrimination from the authorities, the local population and other Syrian migrants on account of their ethnic origin and way of life and have almost no access to humanitarian aid.
