This study explores the gendered dimension of reintegration experiences of Ethiopianrnmigrant returnees from Saudi Arabia in to their communities following the massive deportationrnin 2013. Qualitative method was employed; and unstructured in-depth interview with twelvernreturnees (six of each gender) and two key informants was conducted. A thematic analysis wasrndone using collection of three analytical tools: The three interrelated dimensions of reintegrationrn(economic, social, and psychosocial) by Ruben et.al (2009); the three stages of migration byrnCassario (2004); and Gender analysis. The common view amongst interviewees in relation torneconomic reintegration was that it is influenced by reasons to migration, the sociopoliticalrnenvironment at destination, the working and living conditions at destination, the physical,rnemotional, and sexual abuses returnees experienced. Social reintegration implied to be highlyrndependent on success of achieving migration purpose, conflict before migration, andrnopportunities to retain communication with home. Psychosocial reintegration discussed byrnreturnees to be influenced by their experiences at destination depending factors influenced theirrnmigration motives, emotional and psychological health, and their identification of themselves asrnpart of home community. Taken together, these results suggest that there is an associationrnbetween reintegration experience and the domestic working environment, the Kafala system, andrnthe Guardianship system women lived through in Saudi Arabia. These factors by limiting womenrnmovement and options of opportunities; increasing their vulnerability to abuse; and decreasingrntheir chance of achieving migration goals, they influence their reintegration experiencernnegatively. Together these results provide important insight on how migration is a genderedrnphenomenon; hence, a program attempting to reintegrate men and women passed through it, hadrnto be a gender responsive. Moreover, experience of migrants before and during migration isrnfound to have determining impact on their reintegration; therefore, by putting on a gender lens, arnreintegration program planning and implementation has to explore experience of returneesrnthroughout all stages of their migration. The study recommends for the reintegration program tornlook critically in to the factors identified in the study; and to employ a holistic approach (thatrnconsiders all stages and dimensions of migration, and gender) for successful reintegration of bothrnmen and women returnees.
