Since August 2021 our Network has been active in supporting the evacuations, resettlement and integration of Afghan women and girls fleeing Afghanistan due to its fall to the Taliban. Together with our members in Sweden (Afghan Women Organisation), Hungary (She4She), Greece (Melissa Network) and Poland (Polish Migration Forum), we have organised a number of public online events in support of Afghan women and girls, several international capacity-building workshop for Afghan female refugees. We supported the resettlement of women to several EU states, including Spain, France, Netherlands, Germany and Italy. With the support of EPIM foundation we were also able to provide material assistance to the women resettled in Europe, and organised a residential workshop for a group of Afghan women in Spain as well as a public event in the Spanish parliament.
Our work supporting the Afghan women and girls continues. If you want to learn more and support Afghan female refugees please contact frohar {at} migrantwomennetwork.org
Displaced women and girls face increased risks of multiple forms of violence as a result of conflict, persecution and displacement. Moreover, the COVID19 pandemic has worsened the situation both in the fields of migration and that of gender equality and gender-based violence against women, exacerbating vulnerabilities of both migrant populations and women and children, especially survivors of male violence.
The MOVE project, funded by REC Programme of the European Union, aims to end men’s violence against women and girls, including honour- related violence and oppression, while acknowledging that men and boys have an important role to play in violence prevention. The MOVE project focuses on increasing the readiness and skills of both frontline professionals and of specialised perpetrator programme staff to effectively identify, refer and work with male perpetrators of gender-based violence with a migration background using an anti-racist, inclusive, and culturally sensitive approach while taking into account the Covid 19 pandemic.
Workplaces are formidable integration hubs. Not every workplace however is equally accessible to low-skilled migrant women, who as a result are excluded from the unique integration process work life offers.
Worldplaces aims to bring together the public and non-profit sector with for-profit employers in multi-stakeholder networks to bridge the gaps faced by migrant women.
Funded by AMIF fund, four national NGOs (Quid, IT and SPEAK, PT; NGOs GEN2RED, EN; Interventionsbüro, DE), in partnership Vigo University (ES), European Network Migrant Women and Impact Hub EU (AT), will design
practices supporting low-skilled migrant women in 4 key work life areas: Training and Leadership, Life and Community, Language and Culture, Sense of Self.
Over 3 years (2022-2024) the action will implement 4 pilots locally, directly involving 300 migrant women and reaching through the local networks over 30 for-profit employers and EU-wide (17 States) 450 integration champions, migrant and local women. They’ll act as network ambassadors and will feature in an artistic campaign on migrant and local women’s ‘habitus’/’clothes’ as a symbol of their work life.
