Transform Europe / Change4all and The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF)

The refugee policy crisis is not gender neutral. This WS will tackle women refugees in a broader context: women as political subjects who face and fight multiple discrimination and forms of physical and structural violence, in their countries of origin, on the flight and in the receiving countries. Their role in our societies and position in conflict solutions, the often invisibility, insecurity and dependency in patriachic androcentric societies everywhere will be discussed as well as the possible common demands of women and feminist activists transnationally and the future cooperation possibilities.
