Diverse Migrant Women

Mujeres Migrantes Diversas is a Barcelona-based association created by Honduran domestic and care workers that defines itself as a community-based feminist and pro-LGBTI organisation that welcomes and accompanies newly arrived foreigners.

In 2018, with our financial support in the framework of a project funded by Barcelona City Council, provided information to more than 200 women on foreigners, registration, access to health care, complaints of harassment at work and gender-based violence.

They also held two workshops on legal aid with the participation of 62 women, Catalan classes that enabled 95 people to obtain their accreditation, workshops to learn how to search for information and carry out electronic procedures with 10 women, and workshops on gender and sexual diversity with 17 women.

Two workshops were held with the participation of about 20 women in each, one on the employment discrimination situation of domestic and care workers and another to get to know the city and become familiar with the public transport system. Calala has also accompanied the organisation in the process of obtaining its NIF and digital certificate.

During this period, Mujeres Migrantes Diversas has strengthened its management capacities and has managed to speed up the regularisation processes of the population in an irregular migratory situation, accompany cases of gender violence and facilitate their access to public services. All this work has provided them with new opportunities to finance their work.
