The empowerment of refugee women is an indicator of the integration process with the host society & a wider approach to social cohesion. The purpose of this project is to provide an empowerment pathway through a comprehensive approach focusing on the range of needs, dynamics, resilience & potential of refugee women. Since 2016, MN has been running a holistic program of empowerment & integration, creating an active, vibrant community with direct involvement of migrant women leaders, through empowerment, education, information, creativity, safety & solidarity.

The program combines 7 strands of activities adapted to the needs & characteristics of the target group.

2.Psychosocial support provided through a trauma-informed, culturally aware approach (combining group drama therapy & individual counselling) to treat trauma & PTSD restoring agency & building trust & confidence

3.Info cycles on health,education,employability,rights,etc.

4.Art & Creativity encompasses activities that facilitate expression & contribute to the process of opening up & sharing

6. Skills & Capacity Building (computers, first aid, conflict resolution etc) creating access to employability & leadership
