Women for Refugee Women

Who we are

Women for Refugee Women supports women who have fled persecution including rape, gender-based violence, domestic violence, forced marriage, female genital-cutting, torture, and trafficking to rebuild their lives on their own terms.  

Through our programme of creative and educational activities, we support a network of over 650 refugee and asylum-seeking women to develop their confidence and skills. Every woman who joins our network will find a welcoming and supportive space in which she can meet other women and begin to rebuild her life, whether that be through speaking her first words of English or leading campaigns for change. 

Alongside refugee women, WRW campaigns for, and achieves, real change to the asylum system, to ensure that every woman seeking safety in the UK receives a fair hearing. Whether it’s speaking to the mainstream media, performing at arts events, or speaking at Parliament, we support women to campaign on the issues that are affecting them, and by doing so, change hearts and minds.
