Göçmen ve Mülteci Kadınlar için Fiziksel Aktivite Rehberi, Hacettepe Üniversitesi Bilimsel Araştırma Projeleri Koordinasyon Birimi tarafından desteklenen "Türkiye'de Yaşayan Suriyeli Göçmen Kadınların Güçlenmelerinde ve Toplumsal Entegrasyonunda Bir Sosyal Politika Aracı Olarak Fiziksel Aktivitenin Kullanılması" isimli araştırma projesi kapsamında hazırlanmıştır. Projede, mülteci kadınların güçlenmelerinde ve sosyal uyumun sağlanmasında fiziksel aktivite bir araç olarak kullanılmıştır. Projenin birinci basamağında Suriyeli mülteci kadınların fiziksel aktivite düzeyi kültürleşme bağlamında incelenmiştir. Projenin ikinci basamağında, Suriyeli, Afganistanlı, Iraklı ve Türkiyeli kadınlardan oluşan 25 kişilik bir grupla 12 haftalık fiziksel aktivite programı uygulanmıştır. Sosyal uyumu hedefleyen bu uygulama sonrasında elde edilen bulgular ve deneyimler doğrultusunda, mülteci kadınlar için geliştirilecek bir fiziksel aktivite programının kavramsal çerçevesini, hedeflerini ve pedagojik ilkelerini içeren bir rehber kitap hazırlanmıştır. Geçtiğimiz on yılda artan göç oranları, birçok göç edilen ülkede göç ve toplumsal bütünleşme politikaları konusundaki tartışmaları hızlandırmıştır. Dünyada Suriyeli mülteci sayısının en fazla olduğu Türkiye'de, Suriyeli ve son zamanlarda Afganistanlı ve Iraklı mültecilerin sosyal uyumuna yönelik çeşitli araştırma verilerine dayalı politikalar üretilmektir. Bu politikalara dayanak olan bilimsel araştırma verileri, fiziksel aktivite ve sporun göçmen ve mülteci bireylerin yaşamlarına olumlu katkılarını ortaya koyarken, göçmenlerle ve mültecilerle ilgili politikaları geliştiren uluslararası kurumlar tarafından fiziksel aktivite ve sporun birleştirici gücü vurgulanmaktadır. 2016-2018 yılları arasında Avrupa Birliği Komisyonu, Avrupa Birliği üye ülkelerdeki mültecilerin iyi olma hali ve sosyal uyumlarını artırmak için fiziksel aktivite ve spor fırsatları sunan yaklaşık 3 milyon Avro tutarındaki 54 projeyi desteklemiştir. Birleşmiş Milletler 2030 Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Amaçlarının "Toplumsal Cinsiyet Eşitliği" başlıklı 5. Maddesi kapsamında kadınların her seviyede güçlenmesi ve kadına yönelik her türlü istismarı kapsayan şiddetin ortadan kaldırılması gerekmektedir. Göçmen ve Mülteci Kadınlar İçin Fiziksel Aktivite Rehberi, hedefleri itibariyle Türkiye'de yaşayan mülteci kadınların fiziksel, psikolojik, sosyal ve kültürel güçlenmelerinde bir sosyal politika aracı olarak fiziksel aktivitenin kullanımına örnektir. Kadının güçlenmesini hedefleyen bilimsel araştırmalarda ve sosyal sorumluluk projelerinde yararlanılabilecek nitelikte bir rehberdir. Rehberin Türkçe, Arapça ve İngilizce dillerinde yazılmış olması, bilgilerin doğrudan göçmen ve mülteci kadınlar tarafından erişilebilir olmasını sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca, uluslararası platformlar için de kullanılabilir bir uluslararası rehber niteliği de taşımaktadır. Proje faaliyetlerinin gerçekleştirilmesinde hep birlikte çalıştığımız katılımcılara, eğitmenlere, gönüllülere, kurum çalışanlarına ve yöneticilere çok teşekkür ederiz. Birlikte hareket ettiğimiz, birlikte dans ettiğimiz, farklılıkları ve benzerlikleriyle kültürlerimizi, gündelik yaşamlarımızı paylaştığımız ve birlikte güçlendiğimiz projemizin, benzer hedeflerdeki çalışmalara rehberlik yapabilmesini umuyoruz. ; Physical Activity Program Guide for Migrant and Refugee Women was prepared within the scope of the Project titled "Using Physical Activity as a Social Policy Tool in the Empowerment and Social Integration of Syrian Migrant Women Living in Turkey", supported by Hacettepe University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit. In the project, physical activity is used as a tool in empowering refugee women and ensuring social integration. In the first phase of the project, physical activity levels of Syrian refugee women were investigated with regard to acculturation. In the second phase of the project, a 12-week physical activity program was implemented in a group consisting of 25 Syrian, Afghan, Iraqi and Turkish women. In accordance with the findings and the experiences obtained as a result of this physical activity intervention aimed at social integration, The Physical Activity Guide for Migrant and Refugee Women was developed. Increasing rates of migration in the last decade have accelerated debates about migration and social integration policies in many countries. In Turkey, where the number of Syrian refugees is the highest in the world, policies are being made based on various research data regarding the social integration of Syrian and, more recently, Afghan and Iraqi refugees. Not enough importance has been ascribed to sport and physical activity in these policies yet. However, while data from scientific research exhibit favourable impacts of physical activity and sport on the lives of migrant and refugee individuals, the unifying power of physical activity and sport is emphasised by international organizations. Between 2016 and 2018, the European Commission supported 54 projects, totalling a sum of approximately 3 million Euros, offering physical activity and sport opportunities to improve the well-being and social engagement of refugees in the European Union member states. Within the scope of Article 5 of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, titled "Promoting Gender Equality", it is required to ensure women's empowerment at all levels and to eliminate violence including all forms of abuse against women. The Physical Activity Guide for Migrant and Refugee Women, with regard to its objectives, is a model for the use of physical activity as a social policy tool in the physical, mental and social empowerment of refugee women living in Turkey. It is a guide that can be used in academic studies and social responsibility projects aimed at women's empowerment within the scope of UN Goals. The availability of the guide in Turkish, Arabic, and English languages makes the information directly accessible to migrant and refugee women. Moreover, it features as an international guide available to international platforms. We would like to thank the participants, trainers, volunteers, staff and managers with whom we work together in the realization of project activities. We moved together, danced together, we shared our cultures, our daily lives. We embraced our differences and similarities and became empowered together. We hope that our project will be able to guide work with similar goals. ; ‫"‬ ‫بـ‬ ‫الموسوم‬ ‫البحثي‬ ‫المشروع‬ ‫نطاق‬ ‫ضمن‬ ‫د‬ ‫ّ‬ ‫أُع‬ ‫الالجئة‪،‬‬ ‫و‬ ‫المهاجرة‬ ‫للمرأة‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫النشاط‬ ‫دليل‬ ‫إن‬ ‫و‬ ‫المرأة‬ ‫لتمكين‬ ‫اجتماعية‬ ‫سياسة‬ ‫كأداة‬ ‫استعمالها‬ ‫و‬ ‫الالجئة‬ ‫السورية‬ ‫للمرأة‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫النشاط‬ ‫ممارسة‬ ‫هاجات‬ ‫بجامعة‬ ‫العلمية‬ ‫البحثية‬ ‫المشاريع‬ ‫تنسيق‬ ‫قسم‬ ‫قبل‬ ‫من‬ ‫المدعوم‬ ‫و‬ ‫االجتماعي"‬ ‫إندماجها‬ ‫تعزيز‬ ‫االجتماعي‪.‬‬ ‫التماسك‬ ‫ضمان‬ ‫و‬ ‫الالجئات‬ ‫لتعزيز‬ ‫كأداة‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫النشاط‬ ‫استخدام‬ ‫المشروع‪،‬‬ ‫في‬ ‫تم‬ ‫تبة‪.‬‬ ‫في‬ ‫السوريات‬ ‫الالجئات‬ ‫للنساء‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫النشاط‬ ‫مستوى‬ ‫فحص‬ ‫تم‬ ‫المشروع‪،‬‬ ‫من‬ ‫األولى‬ ‫الخطوة‬ ‫في‬ ‫‪12‬‬ ‫لمدة‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫النشاط‬ ‫برنامج‬ ‫تنفيذ‬ ‫تم‬ ‫المشروع‪،‬‬ ‫من‬ ‫الثانية‬ ‫الخطوة‬ ‫في‬ ‫الثقافي‪.‬‬ ‫التمازج‬ ‫سياق‬ ‫و‬ ‫التركية‪.‬‬ ‫كذلك‬ ‫و‬ ‫العراقية‬ ‫األفغانية‪،‬‬ ‫السورية‪،‬‬ ‫القومية‬ ‫من‬ ‫امرأة‬ ‫‪25‬‬ ‫من‬ ‫مؤلفة‬ ‫لمجموعة‬ ‫ً‬ ‫أسبوعا‬ ‫إعداد‬ ‫تم‬ ‫‪،‬‬ ‫االجتماعي‬ ‫التماسك‬ ‫تستهدف‬ ‫التي‬ ‫الفعالية‬ ‫هذه‬ ‫بعد‬ ‫المكتسبة‬ ‫الخبرات‬ ‫و‬ ‫النتائج‬ ‫مع‬ ‫ً‬ ‫تمشيا‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫النشاط‬ ‫لبرنامج‬ ‫التربوية‬ ‫المبادئ‬ ‫و‬ ‫األهداف‬ ‫و‬ ‫المفاهيمي‬ ‫اإلطار‬ ‫على‬ ‫يحتوي‬ ‫إرشادي‬ ‫دليل‬ ‫الالجئات‬ ‫تلك‬ ‫أجل‬ ‫من‬ ‫تطويره‬ ‫سيتم‬ ‫‪.‬الذي‬ ‫االندماج‬ ‫و‬ ‫الهجرة‬ ‫سياسات‬ ‫حول‬ ‫النقاش‬ ‫تسريع‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫الماضي‬ ‫العقد‬ ‫في‬ ‫المتزايدة‬ ‫الهجرة‬ ‫معدالت‬ ‫أدت‬ ‫عدد‬ ‫أقصى‬ ‫فيها‬ ‫بلغ‬ ‫حيث‬ ‫أيضاً‪،‬‬ ‫تركيا‬ ‫في‬ ‫و‬ ‫العالم‬ ‫ففي‬ ‫المهاجرة‪.‬‬ ‫البلدان‬ ‫من‬ ‫العديد‬ ‫في‬ ‫االجتماعي‬ ‫البحثية‬ ‫البيانات‬ ‫على‬ ‫المبنية‬ ‫المختلفة‬ ‫السياسات‬ ‫من‬ ‫الكثير‬ ‫إعداد‬ ‫يتم‬ ‫العالم‪،‬‬ ‫في‬ ‫السوريين‬ ‫الالجئين‬ ‫من‬ ‫العراق‪.‬‬ ‫من‬ ‫ً‬ ‫مؤخرا‬ ‫و‬ ‫أفغانستان‬ ‫سوريا‪،‬‬ ‫من‬ ‫القادمين‬ ‫الالجئين‬ ‫لهؤالء‬ ‫االجتماعي‬ ‫االندماج‬ ‫تحقيق‬ ‫بغية‬ ‫بيانات‬ ‫تكشف‬ ‫حين‬ ‫في‬ ‫بعد‪.‬‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫والنشاط‬ ‫للرياضة‬ ‫الالزمة‬ ‫األهمية‬ ‫تُعطى‬ ‫لم‬ ‫السياسات‪،‬‬ ‫هذه‬ ‫في‬ ‫‪،‬‬ ‫الالجئين‬ ‫و‬ ‫المهاجرين‬ ‫حياة‬ ‫في‬ ‫الرياضة‬ ‫و‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫للنشاط‬ ‫اإليجابية‬ ‫المساهمة‬ ‫عن‬ ‫العلمي‬ ‫البحث‬ ‫الترابط‬ ‫قوة‬ ‫على‬ ‫الالجئين‪،‬‬ ‫و‬ ‫للمهاجرين‬ ‫سياسات‬ ‫تطوير‬ ‫على‬ ‫تعمل‬ ‫التي‬ ‫الدولية‬ ‫المؤسسات‬ ‫تؤكد‬ ‫أستراليا‬ ‫و‬ ‫الشمالية‬ ‫أمريكا‬ ‫و‬ ‫األوروبي‬ ‫االتحاد‬ ‫إستثمر‬ ‫المثال‪،‬‬ ‫سبيل‬ ‫على‬ ‫الرياضي‪.‬‬ ‫و‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫للنشاط‬ ‫النشاط‬ ‫في‬ ‫للمشاركة‬ ‫اللجوء‬ ‫طالبي‬ ‫و‬ ‫لالجئين‬ ‫التدخل‬ ‫برامج‬ ‫و‬ ‫الرياضية‬ ‫البرامج‬ ‫في‬ ‫كبير‬ ‫بشكل‬ ‫‪2016‬‬ ‫عامي‬ ‫بين‬ ‫االجتماعية‪.‬‬ ‫األغراض‬ ‫و‬ ‫التأهيل‬ ‫إعادة‬ ‫و‬ ‫الصحة‬ ‫ألغراض‬ ‫الرياضي‬ ‫و‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫أنشطة‬ ‫وفرت‬ ‫حيث‬ ‫‪،‬‬ ‫يورو‬ ‫ماليين‬ ‫‪3‬‬ ‫بقيمة‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ع‬ ‫مشرو‬ ‫‪54‬‬ ‫األوروبية‬ ‫المفوضية‬ ‫دعمت‬ ‫‪،‬‬ ‫‪2018‬‬ ‫و‬ ‫األوروبي‬ ‫االتحاد‬ ‫في‬ ‫األعضاء‬ ‫الدول‬ ‫في‬ ‫اجتماعيًا‬ ‫وإدماجهم‬ ‫الالجئين‬ ‫رفاهية‬ ‫لزيادة‬ ‫رياضية‬ ‫و‬ ‫بدنية‬ ‫‪2019‬‬ ‫‪،‬‬ ‫آخرون‬ ‫و‬ ‫‪().‬سبايـج‬ ‫بين‬ ‫المساواة‬ ‫"ضمان‬ ‫بعنوان‬ ‫‪2030‬‬ ‫المتحدة‬ ‫لألمم‬ ‫المستدامة‬ ‫التنمية‬ ‫أهداف‬ ‫من‬ ‫‪5‬‬ ‫المادة‬ ‫نطاق‬ ‫ضمن‬ ‫المستويات‬ ‫جميع‬ ‫على‬ ‫المرأة‬ ‫تمكين‬ ‫ضمان‬ ‫الضروري‬ ‫من‬ ‫‪،‬‬ ‫الفتيات"‬ ‫و‬ ‫النساء‬ ‫جميع‬ ‫تمكين‬ ‫و‬ ‫الجنسين‬ ‫الالجئات‪،‬‬ ‫و‬ ‫المهاجرات‬ ‫للنساء‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫النشاط‬ ‫دليل‬ ‫إن‬ ‫المرأة‪.‬‬ ‫ضد‬ ‫العنف‬ ‫أشكال‬ ‫جميع‬ ‫على‬ ‫القضاء‬ ‫و‬ ‫االجتماعية‬ ‫للسياسة‬ ‫كأداة‬ ‫تركيا‬ ‫في‬ ‫للالجئات‬ ‫البدني‬ ‫النشاط‬ ‫الستخدام‬ ‫ً‬ ‫جيدا‬ ‫ً‬ ‫نموذجا‬ ‫يعتبر‬ ‫‪،‬‬ ‫أهدافه‬ ‫بحكم‬ ‫و‬ ‫األكاديمية‬ ‫الدراسات‬ ‫في‬ ‫استخدامه‬ ‫يمكن‬ ‫ً‬ ‫هاما‬ ‫ً‬ ‫مرجعا‬ ‫يعتبر‬ ‫و‬ ‫االجتماعي‪.‬‬ ‫التمكين‬ ‫و‬ ‫النفسية‬ ‫و‬ ‫المتحدة‬ ‫األمم‬ ‫أهداف‬ ‫نطاق‬ ‫في‬ ‫المرأة‬ ‫تمكين‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫تهدف‬ ‫التي‬ ‫االجتماعية‬ ‫المسؤولية‬ ‫‪.‬مشاريع‬ ‫المتاحة‬ ‫المعلومات‬ ‫وصول‬ ‫يضمن‬ ‫اإلنجليزية‬ ‫و‬ ‫العربية‬ ‫و‬ ‫التركية‬ ‫باللغات‬ ‫مكتوب‬ ‫الدليل‬ ‫هذا‬ ‫كون‬ ‫إن‬ ‫المحافل‬ ‫أغلب‬ ‫في‬ ‫استخدامه‬ ‫يمكن‬ ‫دولي‬ ‫دليل‬ ‫فهو‬ ‫ذلك‪،‬‬ ‫على‬ ‫عالوة‬ ‫الالجئات‪.‬‬ ‫و‬ ‫للمهاجرات‬ ‫مباشرة‬ ‫‪.‬الدولية‬

ان الديمقراطية النيابية تعني قيام الشعب باختيار ممثلين عنه للحكم بدلا عنه لفترة زمنية معينة عبر انتخابات دورية .لذا فان تاقيت المجالس النيابية هي احد العناصر الاساسية للديمقراطية النيابية وتنتهي تمثيل المجلس النيابي للشعب صاحب السلطة الاصلي بانتهاء مدة ولاية المجلس ويفقد المثلون شرعيتهم لان الشعب انتخبهم لتمثيله فقط لتلك المدة المحددة في الدستور او القانون وينبغي العودة مجددا الى الشعب ليدلو بدلوه امما باعادة انتخابهم اذا رأى فيهم انهم قد احسنو تمثيله او يقوم بانتخاب نواب اخرين لكي يمثلوه لولاية جديدة،ولا يجوز تأخير الانتخابات او تمديد ولاية المجالس لانهم وكلاء عن الشعب ولا يجوز للوكيل تمديد مدة وكالته او ولايته ولكن نرى انه في الدول والاقاليم الحديثة العهد بالديمقراطية ومنها العراق واقليم كوردستان لا يتم الالتزام بمواعيد الانتخابات في حينها ويتم اللجوء في الكثير من الاحايين الى تمديد ولاية المجالس سواء ولاية المجالس الوطنية كمجلس النواب او المجلس الوطني في السابق و برلمان اقليم كوردستان او المجالس المحلية كمجالس المحافظات والبلديات في هذا البحث تناولنا حالات تمديد المجالس النيابية الوطنية والمحلية وعلى مستوى الدولة الاتحادية وعلى مستوى اقليم كوردستان ايضا. ; around the existence and non-existence with the timeliness corner of the parliamentary democracy, because the timeliness corner requires specifying a reasonable period of time for the mandate of the Parliamentary Councils, and on this basis most of the constitutions stipulated the determination of a reasonable time period that ranges from two to five years for the mandate of the Parliamentary Councils, And in order to renew the council's mandate at the end of the term, it also stipulated that a specific period be set before the mandate of the existing council to conduct elections to renew the council's term, and the formation of a new council with the end of the mandate of the existing council. The extension of the mandate of the House of Representatives is in violation of the rules of jurisdiction and delegation as well, because representatives are competent to exercise their powers defined in the constitution within a limited period of time and with the end of this period their powers to practice their business ends, and when they perform any work outside this period their behavior is tainted by the defect of lack of temporal competence Their behavior is invalid, in addition to that the extension of the mandate of the Parliament is considered contrary to the rules of delegation as well, because according to these rules the authority of the Commissioner ends once the time period specified for him has expired, and during our study of democracy we concluded that the people are the original owner The power to delegate power by all members of the people, the people authorized the deputies to exercise judgment in their place for a limited period and with their termination, the jurisdiction in question delegated to the original owner of the authority It should be noted that in the new countries of democracy, the constitutional and legal dates of the mandate of the Parliamentary Councils are not adhered to, and the elections are delayed and the mandate of those councils is extended, whether in Kurdistan or in the Iraqi federal state. In this research, the cases of extension to the national, local, or municipal councils are discussed with submitting the necessary proposals and recommendations not to Resorting to extending and abiding by the constitutional and legal dates of the elections in order for the parliament to retain its legitimacy

"The Memoirs of Jafar Pasha Al-Askari shed a vivid light on the early days of Arab nationalism and on the creation of modern Iraq in the 1920s and 1930s, as experienced by one of the prime movers of Iraqi independence. They provide a timely reminder of the all but insuperable obstacles to be overcome in building an open Iraqi state, and add much fuel to the ongoing debate about the Arabs' quest to shape their own political destiny." "Born in Mosul in 1885, Jafar Al-Askari played a colourful part in the events that led to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. Physically large and courageous, with a sharp intellect, a talent for languages, and a jovial and commanding personality, he was sent for military training in Germany before the War, and was rapidly recognised by the Young Turks as a gifted military commander." "He was however also strongly drawn to the Arab nationalist ideas then current, and the consistent theme of his career was his intense Arab patriotism. As one of the youngest generals in the Ottoman Army, he led the Sanusi regular forces in Cyrenaica in 1915-16. His capture by the British and incarceration in Cairo led to an abortive - and comical - escape attempt, and also to cordial relations with various British officers, among them T. E. Lawrence. In Cairo he realised that the Arab cause might best be served by Sharif Hussain of Makkah's revolt against Ottoman rule, then getting under way with British support. He was released in March 1917 to take command of the Arab regular forces fighting under the Amir Faisal bin Hussain (later King Faisal I of Iraq) in the Hijaz." "Jafar describes his leading role in the Arab Revolt at length. His achievement was to shape and inspire an effective force of Arab regulars to form the core of Amir Faisal's army. Co-operating with Lawrence and the bedouin irregulars, they disrupted Turkish communications along the desert flank of Allenby's northward advance through Palestine. By the end of the War Jafar had accomplished the rare feat of having been decorated by both the Germans and the British." "In 1919, Faisal appointed Jafar Military Governor of Aleppo. He became one of the first members of the new Iraqi government under the British Mandate, and spent the remainder of his life serving his King and country as Prime Minister (twice), Minister of Defence (five times), and Iraqi Minister in London, where he also found time to be called to the Bar (at Gray's Inn)." "Jafar Pasha was assa ...
