Date: 04-06-2025Time: 1:30 - 5:00 pm Location: Oxfam Novib, Mauritskade 9, 2514 HD The Hague, The NetherlandsOn Wednesday, June 4th, New Women Connectors invites you to an empowering afternoon of resistance, solidarity, and participation. This event centers the voices, experiences, and leadership of migrant and refugee women โ because we believe meaningful inclusion must start with centering those who have been historically excluded from civic and political participation.
At a time when xenophobia, restrictive immigration policies, and the defunding of civil society limit civic space, particularly for women with a forced displacement background, we are coming together to push back โ through power, stories, and collective action.
What to expect:
๐ฅ A roundtable discussion with inspiring migrant women leaders, including:
Oksana Savchuk โ co-founder of the
VATAHA Foundation, project coordinator at Ukrainian House Rotterdam
