Between Policy and Lived Experience

Migrant and Refugee Women’s Perspectives on the EU Migration pact
discussion, interactive workshops and participatory sessions
organized by New Women Connectors


When it comes to migration policies, they are often detached from people’s lived experiences. People who decide on migration policies are very often people who have no migration backgrounds themselves. Yet they consistently frame migration in a negative way, contributing to dangerous and harmful perceptions around migration. For those who are intersectionally affected, such as women with a refugee background, the situation is especially dire.

One of the biggest policy changes in migration has been the EU Migration Pact, which sets out a framework for managing migration and asylum across the European Union, and will enter into effect this June. While there is a lot of discussion around the Pact, there is an urgent need to dissect it through a feminist lens: what does it mean for migrant and refugee women, as well as gender-diverse individuals?

This event, Between Policy and Lived Experience: Migrant and Refugee Women’s Perspectives on the EU Migration Pact is set out close this gap and reaffirm solidarity in responses to the Pact

Expect a day of discussion, interactive workshops, and participatory sessions
