dc.description.abstractSyrian refugees, especially women that managed to arrive in host countries such as the Netherlands, are faced with a new set of challenges, namely a new culture, a new language, overall a new life. On this account, this study exhibits how female Syrian refugee entrepreneurs (FSREs) in the Netherlands, exert their agency based on an intersectional approach. Ten FSREs life stories are analysed, yielding insights on their entrepreneurship handling, and their inclusion process during the COVID19 pandemic. Findings confirm, the intersection of gender, ethnicity, religion and class, shape the entrepreneurships of female Syrian refugees. Further, these entrepreneurships produce an enclave effect, either adverse or beneficial on their inclusion. COVID19 impacts largely on inclusion by limiting offline social interaction, yet it opens the door to innovation through adaptation via digital strategies. The results demonstrate the importance of individual and contextual support for enhancing inclusion on FSRE. This research provides new empirical evidence on female refugee entrepreneurship at their intersectional backgrounds during COVID19 and adds to the studies over refugee inclusion under a Netherlands context.en_US
