Women’s Empowerment & Safety
MiCare is inspired by women from refugee and migrant backgrounds who address safety & social isolation
MiCare has been inspired by women from refugee and migrant backgrounds who address safety and social isolation and bring positive change to other women in similar circumstances. We are committed to gender equity, women’s and children’s safety, and the long-term sustainability of community-led initiatives.
Through tailored leadership initiatives, MiCare brings together women from diverse backgrounds with shared values to support, learn and encourage each other. We work alongside women to build their confidence, knowledge, and leadership skills within their communities.
