Third, they practice transnational respect for humanity through the community. The conclusions of this study are as follows. Immigrant women in international marriages have various influences on their home country and their country of residence through community activities, and their activities are carrying out global citizenship by practicing service and harmony. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.
