We particularly mark the participation of women in the world’s migration flows. They participate at all levels, from skilled innovators working on the threshold of new ideas and discoveries; as migrant workers looking for livelihoods; as young people involved in education; but also in refugee flows made up of people needing safe havens.
According to UNHCR over half of all refugees and migrants who risk the dangerous sea crossing to Europe from Turkey, via Greece are women and children. Too often they find themselves denied basic human rights, and having to fight every inch of the way against the immense dangers which confront them on a daily basis.
MRN is proud to support the Women on the Move Awards 2016 to celebrate the contribution that migrant and refugee women make in the UK and stand in solidarity with these women. This event is part of Southbank Centre's Women of the World Festival-2016. For more details and to book your place please follow this link.
