APPOINTMENTS
Women in exile
‘Women in exile’, a group of refugee women from Berlin and Brandenburg, came together about 15 years ago to fight for their rights and against the disrcimnation they face as women and as refugees.
Now they decided to go on a bustour through Germany to visit refugee women all over the country because the situation of many refugee women has become even worse. Under the slogan ‘We are getting louder and louder! Abolish all Lagers!’ they will come to Leipzig as well on the 27th and 28th July. They want to visit women in the camps to protest together loudly against rasicm, sexism, the situation in the camps, deportation and other problems.
Therefore a group of women in Leipzig is trying to organize an event to welcome Women in exile and to get in contact with other women in the lagers to come together for this event. They want to give the space to other refugee women to share their problems, ideas, experiences and opinions. By learning from Women in exile’s experiences they want to think about how to organize themselves and go on in the future.
