Empowering Migrant Women: The Story of DaMigra
Since 2014, DaMigra has been at the forefront of advocating for the rights and interests of migrant women across Germany. As an umbrella organization representing over 60 migrant women’s groups, DaMigra plays a crucial role in amplifying their voices in politics, media, business, and public life.
DaMigra’s mission centers on empowerment—ensuring the equal participation of migrant women in all areas of society, from politics to culture and the workforce. By addressing systemic issues like racism, sexism, and social inequality, DaMigra creates pathways for migrant women to actively shape their communities and futures.
A key part of DaMigra’s work is its nationwide presence, organizing events and initiatives for women* with migration and refugee backgrounds. These programs build networks, foster solidarity, and provide the skills and resources women need to thrive.
With roots going back to the 1980s, DaMigra’s mission is deeply connected to the broader fight against racism, sexism, and exclusion in the German women’s movement. Migrant, Jewish, and women of color sought a platform to combat these injustices, and DaMigra was founded to fulfill this need. Today, the organization not only supports the development and networking of migrant women’s groups but also ensures their concerns are heard at the national level.
At the interface between civil society and political decision-makers, DaMigra bridges the gap between grassroots activism and policy-making. Internally, it strengthens the network of migrant women’s organizations, and externally, it brings their interests to the forefront of national discussions.
We proudly support DaMigra because their work aligns with our commitment to social justice, equality, and empowerment. By standing with DaMigra, we contribute to a future where migrant women are fully included in shaping Germany’s political, social, and economic landscape. Their fight for equality isn’t just for migrant women—it’s a fight for a fairer society for all.
