- Summary
This is a report of the PICUM Workshop held in Brussels, Belgium on 25 June 2010 to discuss current challenges, opportunities and trends regarding the protection of undocumented women’s rights in Europe. It illustrates the extremely worrying situation across the EU, where national laws and policies openly discriminate against undocumented migrant women.
Taking action against the policies and practices that tend to push undocumented female migrants into the margins and limit their autonomy, PICUM gathered a wide selection of grassroots, migrant-led and policy level organisations from across Europe to share experiences and strategies which facilitate undocumented women’s access to justice and empowerment.
Conducted in the frame of PICUM’s undocumented women’s strategy, this thematic workshop brought a diverse and rich participation of migrant women and their advocates from across Europe.
