Women from the Global South is a social business focused on the economic empowerment of talented women inserted in contexts of refuge and social vulnerability. We are based on the promotion of entrepeneurship, capacity building, creation and sale of textile pieces committed to new paradigms of sustainable making and consuming.
One of the biggest challenges for refugee migrants integrating into a new country is the access to the labor market. This difficulty is even greater for women, who migrate with children on their first infancy and who become residents in vulnerable areas, compromising their access to mobility in the city and the consequent difficulty of finding a job that fits their journey with children. The urgency for income and the complete lack or resources and networks to invest in machinery and sewing materials (which is the expertise that our first group of women brings in their DNA) were the founding pillars of our social business.
What we do:
We promote sewing training, provide machinery to work from home, seek to promote entrepeneurship through the formalization of micro entrepeneurs and we connect them with the market, working on two strategic sources of revenue:
(i) to be a sewing workshop on-demand for companies in the fashion segment; and
(ii) to develop a social brand with mini-colections from the opportunity to access fabric.
A model that allows income generation to those who produce and creates a financially self-sustaining social business by strenghtening the collective and, at the same time, autonomous journeys of refugees. We seek to promote a work project focused on the new economies, showing other forms of work beyond the traditional market.
Our values are governed by tolerance, empathy, social responsability, collective commitment, independence, ethics, and transparency.
