About the Event
New Women Connectors (NWC) is an open platform that strives to connect newcomers and migrants, link migration policies debates and seeks to amplify the voices of those who often feel voiceless in these debates. Envisioned, created, and led by migrant & refugee women, we focus on ensuring all voices are heard and responded to so that migrants and refugees can have access to meaningful participation. We believe exchange, dialogue and listening to one another can be facilitated.
The voices of refugee and migrant women draw minimal attention in policymaking debates. The platform offering spaces for highlighting the concerns, needs and challenges of refugee and migrant women have further receded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, it also opens up possibilities to re-evaluate our priorities as a society. For us – feminist activists and allies – it is an opportunity to re-envision and contribute towards social justice for all.
Solidarity and collaboration…
