New Project Supporting Migrant Women* at the Interface of Protection from Violence, Migration, and Flight
*** Description in plain language below ***
Every day, women* worldwide are threatened by gender-based and domestic violence, regardless of social class, age, religion, or background. Migrant women and their children in particular are disproportionately affected and therefore especially in need of protection. Language barriers, lack of knowledge about the legal situation and available support, as well as legal frameworks make it more difficult to access important protective measures.
Together with Ausländerrat Dresden e.V. and Fundaciόn Red Incola, we will be supporting women with experience of migration and flight in Saxony and the Castilla y León region of Spain until early 2028. A key focus is on women affected by gender-based and domestic violence. The emphasis is on resilience, stabilisation and empowerment, as well as long-term development of prospects.
As a transnational consortium, we are developing low-threshold and trust-based access to information and support in the form of specialised support centres, self-help groups, psychosocial counselling services, and assistance with immigration law issues — including in rural areas — as well as training and awareness-raising programmes.
Individual services offered by Sächsischer Flüchtlingsrat e.V.:
- Advice and support for migrant women in Saxony on immigration law matters — at project locations in Dresden and Leipzig, as well as mobile services in several rural districts. This offering complements the specialised support centre providing social assistance and protection-oriented services, operated by Ausländerrat Dresden e.V..
- Training for professionals and awareness-raising on topics at the interface of protection from violence and migration, in particular the rights of migrant women, migration-specific and asylum law particularities, and relevant support structures.
- Network work at local and regional level.
*referring to women and persons who identify as such.
