What’s the issue?

The gender perspective is key in designing measures and policies aimed at integrating migrants and refugees into the host society.
Due to the lack of information, the existing policies and structures force migrants and refugees, especially women, into isolation and dependence.


Migrant and refugee women face particular challenges in accessing jobs, from sexism to dependent care.
Refugee and migrant women have a high potential to lead the dialogue and address the social and economic challenge they face.

But these voices have limited platforms to be heard.

Preliminary study

It aims at examining the digital readiness of the countries involved in the project, by giving information concerning the shape of the digital labour market in the country and its relation to migrant women.
