Migrantische Frauenemanzipation e.V. · Kassel
A non-profit women's association where women* with a variety of migration histories come together – for gender equality, solidarity and social participation.
The story of mifem forms part of the long history of migration between Turkey and Germany. Founded in 1986 as Türk Kadınlar Birliği e.V. the association was one of the first migrant women's associations in Germany whose entire board consisted of women with a migration history. Today we are continuing that story – with the needs of today and the possibilities of tomorrow.
Founded as Türk Kadınlar Birliği e.V. The counselling centre opens the same year.
A dormant period. What remains is 40 years of experience and knowledge.
