Description
Social marginalisation is a great threat to migrant and refugee women in Hungary. One basic criteria of their integration is employment. Migrants need competency building, migrant friendly workplaces, and we have to improve the knowledge of the professionals of this field. Activities: we help migrant women by job search consultancy, we make an awareness raising campaign targeting employers, we distribute our knowledge and method among professionals and bring to life a self promoting group of migrant women The target groups are migrant and refugee women in Hungary, professionals (knowledge transfer) and employers. As a result we improve the life circumstances of 30 women, build competency of 30 professionals, and widen the knowledge of 50 organizations. We reach 500 employers and HR professionals. A community of 20 migrants will be formed. A 10-page publication on the methods of employing migrant women is going to be circulated and a 10 page efficiency study is going to be made.
Summary of project results
Employment is a crucial part in integration of any vulnerable groups of migrants, especially women. For their successful integration to the job market, their skills need development, the welcoming workplaces' receptivity needs to be heightened. For this end, helpers in job-seeking and other mentors worked with the organisation's female clients and targeted employer with sensitising campaigns. The know-how developed during the implementation of the project is available for social workers, and also within the women's group a self-helping community was built. The project reached 32 social workers, 50 organizations were introduced to the methodology, 1500 employers and HR professionals were informed, and 30 migrant women's lives improved with another 20 whose attitudes towards working changed.
