The intent of this study was to uncover the meaning refugee women from the Great Lakes region of Africa attribute to being at the receiving end of refugee services during the first 4 months of their resettlement in the United States. Social constructivism, encompassing acculturation, feminist standpoint, and relational-cultural theories, was used as the theoretical framework for understanding the refugee women's experience. An analysis of the Refugee Act of 1980 provides a historical and policy perspective, which includes an understanding of the funding mechanisms that impact refugees as recipients of resettlement services. This qualitative study used a phenomenological approach to data collection and data analysis. Twelve women from the Great Lakes region of Africa were recruited through purposeful and snowball sampling. In-depth interviews were used to collect data, and interviews were analyzed using Moustakas' (1994) version of Van Kaam's method of phenomenological data analysis. Findings revealed the impact of pre-resettlement experiences on the meaning refugee women give to the phenomenon of being recipients of refugee services in final resettlement. Underlying the major themes were two threads: the fear of annihilation and the need for self-preservation. The key constructs of powerlessness and cultural differences were shown to have an impact on the experience of receiving services in final resettlement. Implications for social work education, policy, and practice emphasized the importance of understanding the refugee women's experience of receiving services in order to develop and provide culturally responsive refugee services.
