What problem would you like to solve?

Migration has many reasons (seeking a better life, refuge, asylum, environmental pressure and more). Women often are the motive force behind the decision to move with their families, but when they arrive in their new homes, the men in their families receive all the focus as breadwinners. Today, women are educated and have skills - but these are not always recognized, discussed or asked about in reception centers. We need to make sure they are asked the same questions and given the same opportunities as men with respect to jobs and other opportunities.

It is also clear that women often are not comfortable asking the right questions - they expect to be given actionable information without requesting it.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Many women migrate to NYC and do not become part of productive life in the City - from lack of knowledge, limited language abilities, shyness, family pressures. They have been professional and/or business women elsewhere, or they have had an education, but they remain dependent on assistance, and on the men in their families for access to information, training and systems. Much of the information they need is too rapidly provided on arrival when they are not able to focus on it. Many become depressed, dependent, and increasingly uncertain of their future. This adds cost to the community, has an impact on their family, and their own health
What idea do you have to address the problem?

Our project will focus on speeding up the integration of professional and business women as productive elements of their new communities by proving the following self-paced multi-lingual trainings:
- Training for reception centers and for individuals collecting information to collect equal information from women.
- Training of migrants on the questions they can ask, but may not even know they ought to ask
- Training of migrant women on gender-based violence and their rights
- Cultural awareness trainings and guidance for migrants and receiving communities
- Provide guidebook, translated in predominant migration languages.
- Create a multilingual guidebook wiki project where different communities can translate to their own language and share hacks
- An interactive platform to walk migrants through setting up
- Documentation (identification) set up (Identification, credit card, bank account, drivers license, etc).
- Access to accelerated ESL, financial literacy, and resume writing classes
- Access to donated clothes locations (and special agreement with MFA)
- Mentoring - Business and Professional Women who are allowed to work - mentors can help them look for work, establish financial selves, identify entrepreneurial training and recommend ongoing mentoring.
- A space with computers where women can learn what is available in terms of work, for their children, in terms of money management, in terms of cv writing and job searches, etc.
Who would that help?

All women on the move, who seek to build a better life for themselves and their families.
