NOW \u2013 New Opportunities for Women is a transnational network from the UK, Cyprus, Ireland, Greece, France, Spain, Iceland and Portugal providing mentorship and support to immigrant women.<\/p>\n

In September 2019 (pre-Covid) organizations in 8 countries across Europe came together to create a new network dedicated to raising the voices of immigrant women in Europe. Little did we know, at that time, that we would not be destined to meet in person again. However undeterred by challenges brought on through the global pandemic this group, dedicate to this vital cause, worked to achieve our goal for co-designing and piloting a bespoke mentoring programme to support migrant women to realise their aspirations and develop the confidence to become leaders of their own destiny. This is our story\u2026<\/p>\n

NOW \u2013 New Opportunities for Women project partners have been successful in developing a range of interventions that are dedicated to raising the voices of immigrant women in Europe. Did you know that 52% of new immigrants are women? This group of women are often marginalised and face significant challenges, however they possess a wealth of experience and knowledge which is a vital bonus to our societies and economies.<\/p>\n
