Women come to Europe from the Middle East, from Africa and other threatened regions. In many cases, they bring their religion with them--as Muslim women, Yezidi women or as Christian women, alone or with their children and their families. Seeking refuge is a process of change for themselves as well as for the European societies. What kind of experiences do women gain during and after their flight? Are there experiences that are specific to women? The insights into the reality of fleeing women lead to existential philosophical reflections. Hannah Arendt's definition of humanity and the right to have rights is relevant to current migrants' experiences. Intersectionality examines the multiple discriminations and social inequality of women seeking asylum in Europe. On the basis of political theory Seyla Benhabib clarifies that the right to have rights is inexorably dependent on whether social acceptance has been granted or not. To analyze these questions, the requirements of and advantages to European societies must be defined. And how can this line of inquiry be used to develop a politically motivated theology?
