Support measures for migrant women’s integration

The main goal of this opportunity is to support collaborative projects that improve the integration and well-being of migrants and refugees. It focuses on increasing access to education, healthcare, and digital skills for migrants, with special attention to the needs of women and children. The initiative aims to foster gender equality, protect children, and ensure equal opportunities for migrants in areas like the labor market and social life. Projects should have a transnational impact and cover EU Member States (except Denmark), with some non-EU countries and international organizations also eligible to participate.

• Support migrant women's labour market and civic integration through tailored training, counselling, and support services
• Promote outreach, empowerment, and mentoring for vulnerable groups, including migrant mothers and women with low education or trauma
• Co-design integration measures with migrant women and engage them in social, cultural, and political community life
• Train public officials and professionals on gender-sensitive integration strategies and migrant women’s specific needs
• Facilitate knowledge exchange and multi-stakeholder cooperation through workshops, mutual learning, and dissemination of best practices

Examples:

• A cross-border initiative supporting migrant women's access to employment and healthcare in five EU countries.
