1. Women Exchange

 

The Women Exchange (WE) program addresses the rights of migrant women, providing migrant and refugee women a space to share their experiences and address issues of particular concern in a women-only setting. The program aims at breaking down barriers between women, sometimes created by ethnicity, language, class, background, or occupation, and providing a platform for women to learn about their rights and experiment with voicing their opinions and speaking out. The program has a particular focus on addressing violence against women through education, training and providing legal assistance. Ultimately, the aim is to amplify migrant women’s voices to the levels of power and decision makers, so they can advocate for their rights themselves.
