European Network of Migrant Women (ENOMW) was formalised as an AISBL (International Non-Profit Association) in Belgium in 2012. Prior to this a number of migrant women organisations, who eventually became the founding members of the network, had already forged partnerships and voiced the need for a formal structure that would support, visibalise and promote the specific concerns and rights of migrant women at the European level.
Eventually, ENOMW were able to develop into an autonomous, self-reliant and clearly defined organisaton, with an ambitious mission to transform the world into a place where migrant, refugee and ethnic minority women do not only act as recepients of help but decision-makers and leaders, fully in charge of their own lives.
Since then ENOMW have been strengthening its political presence, its advocacy and its membership. They have executed projects and activities, organised events, seminar and workshops, published reports and position papers. Most importantly they have created a space for migrant, refugee and ethnic minority girls with the feminist vision to find each other, come together and find ground for collaborative work across our differences.
