The Support for migrant women’s social and economic integration initiative under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) 2025 focuses on addressing the unique challenges migrant women face in accessing employment and social participation. The call for proposal is structured in 5 topics with two interesting topics for our sector:1. Support measures for migrant women’s social and economic integration
Objectives
- Increase labour market participation: Migrant women often experience higher unemployment rates and overqualification for jobs compared to native-born women.
- Develop targeted support measures to include migrant women in the labour market
- Whole-family approach: Recognizing that family dynamics impact integration, the initiative promotes civic and labour market inclusion programs that consider the entire family structure.
- Empowerment of vulnerable groups: Special attention is given to migrant mothers, women with low education, and those who have experienced trauma.
- Multi-stakeholder cooperation: Encourages collaboration between local authorities, employers, civil society groups, and migrant-led organizations.
- Develop good practices on the integration of migrant women
Activities that can be funded
- Awareness campaigns: Informing migrant women about their rights and opportunities in the labour market.
- Integrated support programs: Combining language training, upskilling, childcare access, and psycho-social support.
- Mentorship schemes: Connecting migrant women with local professionals to enhance their social and economic integration.
- Community participation initiatives: Encouraging cultural, social, and political involvement to strengthen their role in society.
- Training for public officials: Raising awareness among employment service providers about the specific needs of migrant women.
- Conferences, workshops and mutual learning activities aimed at exchanging experience and disseminating good practices in relation to integration support to migrant women.
Expected Impact
- Improved employment rates and better job matching for migrant women.
- Greater awareness of rights and opportunities.
- Stronger cooperation between stakeholders to create sustainable integration models.
- Transfer of best practices to regions with less experience in migrant integration.
