Variety of problems being faced by the refugee women\nwere shared during the workshop. Some of these women said how they get harrassed\nin the streets especially when they are waiting for their buses at the\nbus-stops, and worst cases are in winter times when it gets dark early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some women mentioned how their children are being\nmobbed at the schools and if they try to report to the teachers, their reports\nare usually ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to insufficient German knowledge, these refugee\nwomen continued to share the discrimination they even face with their local\nsupermarkets\u2018 cashiers or when they need to buy transportation tickets from the\nbus drivers. Asking someone on the street for directions, even with their\nlittle but understandable German knowledge is a nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Housing issues seemed to most of them like giving up,\nbecause they shared how they always being sent here and there, bring this and\nthat, come next week, next month..and every time they go with the necessary\ndocuments, something new arises that they are not applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, there were some who had suceeded in some of these\nareas that the refugee women had shared with the rest. These empowering\ninformations such as, continuing on fighting, especially knowing what we are\nall entitled to, empowering themselves by trying to meet with the local groups\nin case there is one, or if not, at least to gather outside information and\ncontacts from centres that work in solidarity and sharing information with one\nanother and most of all, to break the barriers e.g. that one thinks she is\nbetter than the other or just because this woman isn\u2019t speaking my language, I\ndon\u2019t need to interact with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slogan \u201eWomen Breaking Borders\u201c encouraged them to\nstart interacting amongst themselves, in order to try and see how they could\nself-organize themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
