Abstract

This research paper focuses on the concept of intercultural fashion and its contribution to women's Empowerment in refugee camps in the Middle East. It outlines the alternative and possible solutions in establishing economic and social opportunities for refugee women. It then attempts to analyze how international fashion brands contribute to the lives of refugee women while emphasizing the significance of Feminist Theory in International Relations to understand the broader consequences of gender and power-changing aspects. By analyzing partnerships between global fashion enterprises and artisans, the study will highlight how these collaborations can be a possible solution to promote economic growth, cultural preservation and social incorporation for displaced women. This paper also explores the influence of fashion as a tool for Empowerment and its alignment with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
