Women’s Empowerment, Integration and Participation The international initiative “Women’s Empowerment, Integration and Participation” arose from the need to attract attention to gender as an important premise of discrimination against migrants and refugees in Europe.

We want to make it easier for women migrants and refugees to access services offered by the state and show how they can use the opportunities offered by the labor market in their new country.
