EmpowerHer: Enhancing Refugee Women’s Skills for the Hospitality Sector

The global refugee crisis, driven by conflicts, persecution and socio-economic instability, has resulted in displacement of millions of individuals. Among these, women often face the harshest realities. In many societies, they are marginalized in different ways, e.g. because of their refugee status and/or due to their gender.

EmpowerHER aims to transform refugee women from a “vulnerable group” into a “vital and valued workforce” by offering targeted training, language support and mentorship and effectively bridging the employment gap in host countries, particularly in the hospitality sector.

Together with our EmpowerHer project partners from Germany, Greece and Spain, we develop, test and implement the following: Training Toolkit for Professionals, Profession-Specific Language Training Curriculum”, Peer-to-Peer Learning and Mentorship Model.
