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.

What´s on?

What? All our colours - Women in Iceland collect old make-up products for happening.

Skottur, the umbrella association of many women´s association in Iceland founded in order to organise the Women´s Strike October 25th which will be dedicated to the fight against gender violence, will be based on Austurvellir during Culture Night and collect old make-up products. Whatever you find in your closet, the odd neo nail polish, the sparkling green eye shadow which was so smashing in the 80s - feel free to get rid of it finally and for a good cause, too.

The cosmetic products will then be handed over to a group of young artists who will create a piece of art from them which will be presented at the day of the Women´s Strike


Where? Austurvellir

When? Saturday 21 August, 11:00-21.30
