This paper aims to highlight how harnessing female refugee activities through social entrepreneurship is beneficial not only to the host country's economy but also a driver of refugee integration in host communities (Akter, Rahman, & Radicic, 2019).This paper bridges the conceptual and contextual gap in female refugee social entrepreneurship literature (Czinkota et al., 2021; Elo et al. 2018; Sinkovic & Reuber, 2021; Zucchella, 2021).In addition to the scarcity of research on the relevance of gender in the social entrepreneurship field despite claims that social enterprises can effectively contribute to addressing gender-related issues such as women empowerment in the society also in the case of female refugees as it reduces precariousness as they discover social venture opportunities.
