Women's sub-group
Networking

We network with other groups and attend conferences and other events.

Recently 3 members of the group attended a conference in Dublin organised by Akidwa the network of African women.  We also took part in a discussion on childcare aimed at developing services in Cork city.

The Women’s Group has been a valuable source of friendship and support for its members.

We aim to begin to identify and take action on general women’s issues in a broader context, for example:

• Develop a clear agenda on women-specific issues relating to the immigration and asylum system
• Address gender specific issues such as violence against women, rape, FGM and sexual violence, in a supportive, women-only environment
• Engage with the National Women’s Council and similar bodies locally and nationally to bring the migrant women’s perspective to the political agenda
