DEWA Project was established in 2010 by a group of women committed to promoting equal access to rights and opportunities for refugee women in South Yorkshire.
Our maiden project was the publication of our now sold-out book “Different Cultures, One World: Women’s Voices from South Yorkshire”. The book amplified the voices of women of various backgrounds, including refugees & asylum seekers
DEWA Project:
*Supports women forced to flee their countries to rebuild their lives in their new country
*Helps women and girls to reach their full potential through skills and capacity building
*Influences policy through advocacy that is informed by research
*Offers training and workshops to organisations working with women and girls
*Works collaboratively with organisations of similar values and ethos to synergise efforts of achieving women’s advancement
