Abstract

This chapter presents results from our empirical study based on qualitative interviews conducted with Turkish-German migrants and their significant others in both countries. After introducing the historical background on migration in Turkey and Germany, we describe, by means of a typology, the great variety of transnational contacts, activities, and orientations with respect to different migrant categories, migrants’ life courses, and different areas of action. An important result of this study is that stronger state border-crossing activities and orientations usually are embedded in even stronger intercultural and incorporation-related practices toward the migrants’ respective resident states.

05 - Gender Equality
Gender bias is undermining our social fabric and devalues all of us. It is not just a human rights issue; it is a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we deny half the population a chance to live life at its fullest. Political, economic and social equality for women will benefit all the world’s citizens. Together we can eradicate prejudice and work for equal rights and respect for all.

06 - Clean Water and Sanitation
One in three people live without sanitation. This is causing unnecessary disease and death. Although huge strides have been made with access to clean drinking water, lack of sanitation is undermining these advances. If we provide affordable equipment and education in hygiene practices, we can stop this senseless suffering and loss of life.

10 - Reduced Inequalities
Too much of the world’s wealth is held by a very small group of people.This often leads to financial and social discrimination. In order for nations to flourish, equality and prosperity must be available to everyone – regardless of gender, race, religious beliefs or economic status. When every individual is self sufficient, the entire world prospers.
