dc.description.abstract	The return of Ethiopian migrants from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since November, 2013 is unique, which is forced and unjust one. The massive deportation in the pretext of “irregular migrants” has been creating several critical social problems on returnees. The forced and massive reintegration is both a challenge for the returnees, the family, community and the home country at large. This study explores the living conditions of women deportees and their reintegration experiences, returning from Saudi Arabia. A mixed research approach using survey study design and sequential way of collecting data was employed. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods were used to describe the overall life situations and reintegration of individual lived experiences of these women returnees. The study found out that the socio-economic status of returnees was highly deteriorated after return compared with pre- and during migration. One of the main challenges of returnees was unemployment. The t test showed that the mean income of respondents after deportation was declined compared with the mean of monthly income in Saudi Arabia. The findings also depicted housing condition, unemployment, and isolation were challenges which hinder to reintegrate with their communities and start a settled life. To this end, the researcher found out that the reintegration process was not successfully achieved as expected.	en_US
