Migrant Women Leading Change: Strengthening
Democratic Participation, Leadership, and Collective Action in
Gothenburg.
By building sustainable leadership structures, advocacy tools, and collaborative networks, the project will contribute to long-term democratic inclusion, gender equality, and social cohesion, especially in Gothenburg.
Implemented from August to November 2026, the project will support 60 migrant women. Beneficiaries will jointly identify priority issues affecting migrant women and develop collective advocacy recommendations through consultations and dialogue with local stakeholders and decision-makers. Key interventions include leadership and democratic participation workshops and a mentoring program, networking circles, and advocacy. Through a series of capacity-building and awareness-raising activities, including storytelling, social media outreach, network circles, and public dialogues, a community awareness campaign will amplify migrant women’s voices, highlighting their contributions as community leaders and change-makers.
Expected results include increased civic knowledge and leadership skills among participants, greater engagement in community and advocacy activities, improved visibility of migrant women in public spaces, and strengthened partnerships within the WIDE+ network.
Migrant women often face barriers such as limited access to decision-making spaces, language challenges, social exclusion, and discrimination, resulting in their underrepresentation in democratic processes and leadership roles. At the same time, they possess valuable experiences and skills that can contribute significantly to more inclusive and democratic societies. This project aims to strengthen the democratic participation, leadership, and visibility of migrant women in Gothenburg. It will foster stronger collaboration between migrant-led organizations, women’s rights groups, and WIDE+ member organizations. It will establish a migrant women’s leadership network that will continue to exist even after the project ends.
