(31.1.2019) “The Europe we want? Feminist approaches to gender, migration, and democracy” was an Erasmus+ project that brought together five women´s rights organisations from different European countries in 2017 and 2018:
CEIM, GADIP, Karat Coalition, Le Monde selon les femmes, and WIDE

The Erasmus+ project enabled us to organize exchange meetings among adult educators, feminists, migrant women´s activists and others, to discuss about current challenges related to gender and migration, and to get to know inspiring anti-racist feminist approaches in adult education.

WIDE Europe frontpageThe themes discussed ranged from violence against human rights defenders and narrowing space for civil society, security-oriented discourses that instigate fears and anti-Muslim racist discrimination, the externalisation of the European border regime and its impact on women´s human rights, as well as efforts and innovative ways of working with and empowering refugee and migrant women, raising public awareness about gender and migration, and about democratic challenges related to migration and citizenship. Different innovative non-formal educational initiatives for the empowerment of migrant women and feminist analysis were presented and discussed.
