The conditions for asylum in the Federal Republic of Germany are problematic and in parts even life-threatening for people, who had to flee from persecution and torture. Traumatizations are not or insufficiently treated and often even intensified through the conditions for asylum. Gesa Anne Busche interviewed four Kurdish women, who fled from persecution and torture in Turkey and sought asylum in Germany. Her book offers an approach, which should, however, have been closer to the perspective of the interviewed women. During the research process, her own presuppositions could have been reflected on, among others, based on works by Women of Color – the fact that this was not done reduces the book’s benefit considerably.
