• Who we are

    WOMEN NOW is a non-profit, feminist and multicultural organisation aiming at the promotion of gender equality and equal opportunities for our specific target population: migrant women, children, older persons and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

    Conceived out of a meeting of women with different backgrounds and profiles united by the same concerns about inequality, violence and discrimination against migrants, WOMEN NOW was launched in 2020, during the COVID-19 health crisis, to respond to the increase in violence against women amplified by the lockdown measures.

    This is our mission:

    • Fighting all forms of discrimination and violence against our target population (migrant women, children, older people and members of the LGBTQIA+ community).
    • Promoting the well-being, mental health, social inclusion and empowerment of migrants.
    • Advocating opportunity and access to dignified employment as well as a better appreciation of migrant workers.
    • Promoting lifelong learning.
    • Facilitating access to art and culture as well as promoting migrant female artists.
    • Promoting responsible food sovereignty and working towards the acquisition of healthy lifestyle habits (balanced and responsible food, dietetics, etc.) for all.

  • Our work

    We also organise online debates and information sessions on migrants’ rights.
