Through a cross-country network of projects and organisations, we aim to address the prevailing disadvantages of women and girls in Europe, specifically those who are refugees and migrants. Many refugee and migrant women and girls experience labour exploitation and isolation. Their lack of language skills and missing out on formal education caused by dangerous situations or constant moving, often leaves them in a vulnerable position.
Additionally, rising levels of youth unemployment in Europe are creating obstacles for young Europeans to find meaningful employment and gain financial independence. Reflecting this is the high level of unemployment in the member states of this cross-cultural project ranging from 10 per cent at its lowest in the UK to its highest at 30 per cent in Spain and Italy. The six countries taking part in our networks are the United Kingdom, Spain, Latvia, Italy, Poland and Slovenia.
