On Saturday 9 November the Refugee Women’s Strategy Group hosted the ‘Speak for Yourself: Women’s Conference’; a day filled with workshops and discussions, lively music and energetic dancing, delicious food and a colourful fashion show.
The conference provided women with the opportunity to meet new people, share experiences, and most importantly voice concerns and contribute to discussions on issues which affect their everyday lives such as health, education and employment.
I had the pleasure of talking to some of these exceptional women throughout the day, asking them to share some of their experiences – the good and the bad – as a refugee and asylum seeking woman living in Glasgow.
