Mission and Objectives
INY empowers migrant women in the Finnish society and within families. We especially support women's education and employment, and help women who are threatened by violence. We have helped migrant women to integrate to Finland since 2000.
Main Projects / Activities
INY supports the employment and social inclusion of women who have migrated to Finland, offering services like group workshops, individual guidance, language training, digital skills support, and wellbeing activities. We also prevent honour related and familial violence by raising awareness about equality and women’s rights, and by guiding those in need towards available services. We provide services in Finnish, Arabic, Kurdish (sorani), Farsi, and English.
How can you contribute to the Network in your country?
By sharing knowledge that we have gathered from many years of working with migrant women and by actively participating in the network's activities.
Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
We want to connect with other organizations in the same field, learn from each other, and find opportunities for cooperation.
