International Women’s Network In Estonia

"International Women’s Network In Estonia" are an non governmental organization that focuses efforts on helping international migrant women in Estonia. They seek to strengthen women’s voices with our activities and we are in the constant process of building a safe space for them to communicate, connect and find support through sisterhood. They are advocates of multiculturality, gender equality and women empowerment.

Why it's a good practice: Beginning in early 2020 with a Facebook group for Spanish-speaking women (native and non-native speakers) this network has grown organically ever since. In this group, women have the opportunity to communicate their life situations in Estonia, find support and advice, and share knowledge regarding feminism, culture and more.

As women in this group began to speak up about their experiences of domestic and gendered violence, they realized that a stronger support structure was needed to face this issue together and give a platform to migrant women in Estonia.

They are aware that domestic violence is an issue that affects all societies of the world, as violence does not respect geographical borders. Women are already vulnerable for being women worldwide, yet, being an immigrant adds an extra layer of vulnerability that they believe is not being voiced in Estonia yet.

This is this organization motivation to grow their efforts, and the reason why the NGO called International Women’s Network in Estonia was born.
