Who we are

Refugee Women Connect provides support for asylum seeking and refugee women including survivors of sexual violence, slavery and human rights abuses. Any woman who is an asylum seeker or refugee in the Merseyside area can access our services. We support our service users in a practical holistic way, working in a non judgemental manner and respecting each individual’s uniqueness and diversity.

Drop-in Volunteer

As a drop-in volunteer, you will have a range of different responsibilities from being on the reception desk and greeting our service users to helping out with the children.

Support map

We know it is important to have a local service you can rely on. Because of this we are creating a map of refugee women’s services and groups across the UK. If you would like to tell others about a great service or group then please get in touch so that we can add them to our map. If you are a woman seeking asylum or with leave to remain and cannot find a local service then please get in touch and we will try to help you find one.
