À partir du cas des femmes yéménites exilées à Djibouti, cette contribution propose une étude socio-anthropologique des recompositions familiales en temps de guerre et en contexte de migration. Celles-ci s’articulent souvent autour des femmes qui, dans leurs différents rôles (filles, sœurs, épouses, belles-filles, mères, co-mères), sont chargées de la continuité identitaire et générationnelle du groupe, dans un contexte de morcellement de l’espace et du temps. Elles portent les reliques de cette continuité quasi fossile sur leurs visages, dans leurs corps, notamment lorsqu’elles (re)produisent les générations (en arabe, une femme enceinte est hāmil, porteuse), ainsi que dans ce qu’elles transmettent, tout en se montrant créatrices de nouvelles pratiques sociales et familiales. 

The Centre for Social Sciences Research and Action (CeSSRA) applauds Lebanon’s adoption of its first-ever National Social Protection Strategy which constitutes an important milestone towards social justice in the country. This strategy represents a crucial step in establishing a new social contract between the state and its citizens, with social rights as one of its main pillars.

This paper examines the repercussions of Syria's prolonged economic crisis, primarily in Damascus, Hasaka, and Idleb, initiated by the conflict's onset in 2011. The nation has witnessed a severe economic decline with a staggering 300 percent inflation rate, leading to uncontrollable price spikes for essential commodities, rendering them financially inaccessible to most Syrians. Over 90 percent of the population now resides below the poverty line, grappling with poverty, job insecurity, and precarious living conditions. This study focuses on the contemporary status, challenges, and self-perceptions of individuals who identify as "middle class" in Syria. The research is based on comprehensive, semi-structured, and longitudinal telephone interviews with eight Syrian residents between October 2022 and January 2023. The paper underscores the difficulties in maintaining a reasonable standard of living, the scarcity of essential goods and services, and the lack of basic infrastructure in urban areas. Many participants employ individual strategies, including receiving remittances or leveraging personal connections to access necessities. Furthermore, participants express disillusionment with prospects for transformative change, a sense of resignation, and the need to endure day-to-day. They face limitations in expressing grievances, providing mutual support, uniting against challenges, or engaging in acts of protest against prevailing conditions.
