We are proud to have won the Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize (2016) for our 'outstanding contribution' in work towards ending male violence against women.

The core work of Safety4Sisters is the Migrant Women’s Support Group that gives voice to migrant women fleeing abuse. This is a space which attends to the dynamics of both gender based violence and immigration controls, and which connects individual experiences with wider women's struggles.

During the school holidays we run weekly trips with the women and children - most importantly these are fun, but we’re also working to ensure that migrant families are able to access public space. We work with organisations to ensure that they are inclusive and accessible to migrant women.

We want to share our expertise and in 2017 we were published in the journal “Families, Relationships and Societies”. See our article: “Group Work - A powerful site of resistance for migrant women experiencing gender based violence.”

We provide support and training to other organisations to better inform services for migrant women (contact us if you'd like more information about how we can help your organisation).

We hold public events and conferences to uphold the rights of migrant women in the UK. These focus on issues of race, class, immigration and gender in relation to access, safety and inclusion in support services and public spaces generally.

For International Women's Day 2018 we held a conference at the People's History Museum, Manchester, where we - alongside leading national organisations in the VAWG sector - mobilised to demand justice for migrant women.

Safety4Sisters collaborates with other campaigners and organisations who are challenging the barriers migrant women face in their lives. We speak at events so that we can narrate the issues faced by migrant women who have experienced gender based violence.

In June 2018 Safety4Sisters joined Gal-dem, Dr Sumita Mukherjee & RECLAIM alumni in The Runnymede Trust’s public debate; Votes for Who?: Intersectional Suffrage in which we discussed who has been left out of the conversation on Women's Rights and what campaigners and policymakers are doing to push for equality now in Manchester and the North West.

Safety4Sisters is committed to the inclusion and representation of migrant women as part of our campaigning work. We look for creative ways to engage the public to recognise and acknowledge the ways in which migrant women’s voices have been silenced.

In June 2018 Safety4Sisters had an exhibition at the centenary of the Representation of the People Act, at the People's History Museum which, through a stark visual display of shoes from the migrant women’s support group, invited the public to walk in their shoes, and think of their lack of representation in the history of women’s emancipation in the UK.

Our international outlook means that we work with organisations across Europe to ensure safety and support for migrant women subject to gender based violence. In Summer 2018 we presented at the conference: “Migrant and Refugee Women’s Integration and Empowerment in Europe: Common challenges, good practices and opportunities for improved support” in Rome, Italy.

In August 2018 Safety4Sisters accompanied Southall Black Sisters to Calais and Dunkirk to support and give solidarity to The Refugee Women’s Centre, a project developed by L’Auberge des Migrants to support women stranded in informal camps in France.

In 2021 we received charitable status. Our charitable aim is to promote the human rights of migrant women experiencing gender based violence through support services, individual advocacy, group work, training for agencies, partnerships and networks and awareness raising activities throughout the North West.
