Employment and social issues

W.O.M.E.N. in Iceland works on employment and social issues relating to immigrants and women. Board members cooperate with various organizations, institutions and governmental bodies.

We work in different parts of the country.
• We cooperate and negotiate with other organizations, institutions, and governmental agencies to achieve equality for women of foreign origin, socially and financially, in all sectors of society.
• We work with sister organizations in other countries.
• We try to reach out to and empower women of different backgrounds.
• We want to remove barriers to opportunities and enable women to participate in public and community life, including business.
• We encourage, educate and empower women of different ethnic origin to enable them to support their families effectively during the process of integration.
