Abstract

This qualitative study explores the perspectives and stories of the Somali refugee women who live in Fort Morgan, Colorado. This study suggests that the current condition of Somali women's access to resources is underserved. To date there has not been a full assessment that is focused on Somali women's perspective. Therefore, this thesis works to give voice to the most marginalized segment of the population/ community, Muslim women from refugee backgrounds.
