How we are helping
Building the capacity of women to articulate the needs and challenges they face.
About the project
Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Malta are helping to improve the lives of women living in institutional settings in Malta. This project aims to build the capacity of women to articulate the needs and challenges they face. It will support women living in shelters who have experienced domestic violence, and female asylum seekers who live in open centres. It will establish Women Advocacy and Mobilisation Groups (WAMGs) and train the women in human rights, communication and advocacy so they can engage with policymakers for enhanced service delivery and improved access to services.
It is expected that this project will lead to an improvement in the policies, structures and services that directly impact the lives of women in institutional settings.
