Inhalt: To increase the number of cyclists more detailed knowledge about potential user groups is required. This article provides empirical results on one such potential user group: migrant women who did not learn to cycle in their childhood but then trained in adult cycling courses. We argue that many of these migrant women interested in cycling will not own bikes even after successfully finishing the course. This article considers whether and how the use of public bike schemes (PBS) can bridge this gap between (re-)starting cycling and owning a bike. In an experimental setting, a PBS-training-module was tested and a survey among migrant cycling course participants was conducted.

Inhalt: Gender roles of Syrian women started to shift in 2011, in light of the Syrian conflict. This shift was a response to the difficult situations which Syrian women faced inside Syria as well as in the neighboring countries to which they fled in the attempt to find safer living conditions. However, the uncertain situation and the precarious working and living conditions in Syria and the neighboring countries forced many Syrian women and families to flee to Europe, with the highest number to Germany, facing the challenge of a new culture and new social norms. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate if and how the gender roles of Syrian women who fled to Berlin, Germany, have shifted. Using semi-structured interviews conducted in the period July - December 2016, the study illustrates the challenges and opportunities they face, both as women and as refugees, and in how far these affect their gender roles.

Inhalt: Das BAMF-Forschungszentrum legt eine neue Kurzanalyse zur Situation geflüchteter Frauen in Deutschland vor. Dabei werden wissenschaftliche Erhebungen mit Daten aus Verwaltungsstatistiken verknüpft. Die Ergebnisse zeigen: Geflüchtete Frauen sind hoch motiviert zur gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe, benötigen aber aufgrund von "Startnachteilen" besondere Unterstützung.
Inhalt: The BAMF's Research Centre has presented a new brief analysis of the situation facing refugee women in Germany, linking research findings with data obtained from administrative statistics. The results reveal that refugee women are highly motivated when it comes to participation in society, but that they need special support because of "initial disadvantages".
