Refugee Women Connect is a Merseyside based charity, working to build a safe life in the UK for all women refugees and asylum seekers. This September we are celebrating our 20th Anniversary! As part of the celebrations a team of staff and service users will be running the Liverpool Women's 10K to raise money for the charity! 

Our service users come from all walks of life, many have fled situations of conflict, persecution, and abuse. Many of our service users have survived some form of gender based violence, including sexual abuse and exploitation, human trafficking, and female genital mutilation. At Refugee Women Connect we offer expert support to women and their children in the community, as well working with policy makers and the wider asylum sector to support their access to social justice.

We offer practical support for asylum seeking and refugee women and their families. This includes casework, support with accommodation and housing, school access for children, and information sessions and English language classes. We also offer bespoke one-to-one mental health support for women recovering from trauma, as well as group wellbeing sessions, such as our art group and yoga sessions.
