Immigrant women are often affected by discrimination in multiple ways: they face disadvantages due to their gender, their background, and/or their religion, which limits their participation in the workforce.

In addition to our counseling work, we therefore advocate in working groups, network meetings, and at professional events for the elimination of structural disadvantages faced by immigrants in the labor market. In cooperation with various network partners in the Hanover region, we collaborate on projects that promote the participation of migrants in the workforce.

Through informational events and workshops for immigrant women, we create programs specifically tailored to different target groups.

It is also our goal to raise awareness among small and medium-sized enterprises in the Hanover region about the potential of immigrant women, creating a win-win situation for both sides.

The focus of our work is therefore on ensuring that immigrant women pursue work that provides a living wage, matches their qualifications, and meets their expectations.
