How we support refugee women in the UK
Power
by building community through support groups
Through our creative and educational activities such as English lessons, drama, yoga, radical knitting and more, we provide support groups for refugee women to build their confidence and skills. Our warm and welcoming space helps to combat the isolation faced by women seeking safety and creates pathways for women to rebuild their lives on their own terms.
Influence
by supporting refugee women to tell their stories
When women tell their own stories, they can change minds and build understanding about what it means to seek safety in the UK. We support refugee women in the UK, and asylum-seeking women, to speak to the media, to parliamentarians, at events and through the arts.
Change
by campaigning for a fairer UK asylum system.
Working alongside refugee and asylum-seeking women in our network, we publish robust research on the experiences of refugee women. This helps us to fight for a fairer UK asylum system, and to end immigration detention in the UK. We work with policy makers to make the case for a fairer asylum process; and creatively campaign to make change.
