Despite efforts to facilitate their integration, immigrant women often face structural barriers in the workforce, leading many to turn to entrepreneurship as an alternative. Our newly released paper takes a closer look at the unique challenges faced by immigrant women in Jordan and Norway, especially refugees from Syria. It was written as part of the KOMPLEKS project. This analysis sheds light on the policies and programmes that influence immigrant women’s employment and discusses the complex interplay of gender and labour norms. It not only covers targeted efforts to facilitate integration but also considers the broader circumstances of other vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities, the elderly, and Ukrainian refugees.

Congolese refugees have consistently been among the top demographics of ACC newcomers. In FY22, ACC welcomed 79 Congolese refugees, followed by a 67% increase to 132 in FY23. The Democratic Republic of Congo gained independence from Belgium in 1960. Since the late 1990s, the country has been plagued by armed conflicts fueled by ethnic tensions, regional power struggles, and competition over its vast natural resources. The conflict, often referred to as “Africa’s World War”, has caused millions of deaths, directly and indirectly, and has severely affected the population's access to basic services and stability. Despite numerous peace agreements and international interventions. The situation remains fragile, with ongoing instability in the Eastern regions. #CountryBackgrounder #DRC #DemocraticRepublicOfCongo #RefugeesWelcome #Advocacy

Women refugees consistently report poorer settlement outcomes than men. As part of our recent report into settlement outcomes for humanitarian migrants over a 10-year period, we found women had lower levels of work experience, education and language skills on arrival in Australia. And by the tenth year of our study women were 59% less likely to be employed than men. Lead author Dr John van Kooy said supporting women refugees should be a key focus for governments and policymakers.

A very important insight about the positive contribution of migrants to Europe. Inclusion must be prioritised in Europe in 2025. This is fundamental to the work and mission of ULS.

Many refugees experience positive outcomes in their first decade of settlement in Australia, in terms of workforce participation, language proficiency and social cohesion. However significant barriers and challenges remain for some, particularly women. Today we published a milestone report drawing on 10 years of data from our Building a New Life in Australia (BNLA) study, the largest longitudinal study of humanitarian migrants in Australia. AIFS conducts the BNLA study on behalf of the Department of Social Services. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/g4Kp_xUA #BNLA #HumanitarianMigrants #Migration #Refugees #Research

Excited to have participated (representing the Zimbabwe Red Cross Society) in a pivotal workshop focused on addressing migration challenges in Zimbabwe! I had the privilege of contributing to a two-day workshop this past week, aimed at drafting Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the return reintegration of vulnerable migrants in Zimbabwe. With the support of IOM - UN Migration, stakeholders from various government departments and Civil Society Organisations came together to address the pressing need for well-defined SOPs that cater to the needs of vulnerable migrants. Zimbabwe has been receiving a significant number of returnees, including separated and unaccompanied minors, pregnant women, and persons with disabilities, among others. It's essential to ensure their safe and dignified repatriation and reintegration into society. The workshop focused on drafting SOPs that align with existing global, regional and national frameworks, to ensure a holistic and migrants-centered approach. By collaborating with key stakeholders and leveraging the expertise of various we aim to fill operational gaps and empower independent migrants, ultimately fostering inclusive and sustainable reintegration strategies. Looking forward to seeing the actionable policy recommendations and consensus among stakeholders emerge from this collaborative effort! 🤝💼 #Migration #Zimbabwe #SOPs #HumanRights #Empowerment
