W.O.M.E.N

Welcome to the homepage of

Women Of Multicultural Ethnicity Network - W.O.M.E.N. in Iceland

Our association was founded on 24. October 2003. The goal of W.O.M.E.N. is to unite, to express and address the interests and issues of women of foreign origin living in Iceland in order to bring about equality for them as women and as foreigners in all areas of the society.

This homepage contains information about us, issues we are working on and various projects we are engaged in. We will also publish news and announcements about events related to immigrants, women and family issues.

The association is represented by the board, elected every year at the annual meeting.

W.O.M.E.N. in Iceland is open to all women of foreign origin who live in Iceland.

If you would like to join the association or send an enquiry, please send an e-mail to womeniniceland@womeniniceland.is.

The Women´s Story Circle

The next Story Circle will be on Sunday, 15th of January, at 2 pm. We are going to focus on "intercultural dialogue" under the guidance of Valgerður Jónsdóttir who is a specialist in that area. As always we will meet in a relaxed and cosy environment and this time there will be a great opportunity to get to know more about each other. The introduction will be in Icelandic and English and then of course we can translate into other languages that we speak in the group if necessary.

Free coffee and cake as usual - we are looking very much forward to meeting you all again!
