Refugee & migrant women
Welcome and belonging.
Six areas of work
Rights & equality
Knowledge and dignity.
We build awareness of everyday rights and help women recognise discrimination, understand available options and communicate their concerns. Our work covers employment, housing, public services and other areas where unequal treatment can limit opportunity.

AWEF is not a regulated legal-advice provider. Where a matter needs regulated legal or specialist professional advice, we signpost you to qualified professionals.
AWEF is not an emergency service. If you are in immediate danger, call 999. If you cannot speak, press 55 when prompted.
How the work connects
Support the woman. Strengthen the community. Influence the system.
Every area can be a first step. Together they respond to the whole of a woman’s situation rather than a single issue, and what we learn becomes evidence for wider change.
