Campaigns
"Now I feel that I am not just a number but a valued person who can contribute and share my experience..."
Women for Refugee Women campaigns for a fair and compassionate asylum system, in which all women who are forced to cross borders for their safety can rebuild their lives in safety.
We work alongside refugee and asylum-seeking women to campaign for the changes they want to see to build a fairer world. Over the last 15 years we have seen real changes as a result of this work:
- refugee women speaking out and telling their own stories to the media and parliamentarians, at events and through the arts;
- building a movement of caring and compassionate people;
- and through securing policy change and improvements which pave the way for more radical change.
Decided in collaboration with women in our network, our three main areas of campaigning are: Decision-making, detention, and accommodation.
