Women
Scottish Refugee Council's Women's Group
If you are female refugee living in Glasgow then why not come along to the Scottish Refugee Council's Women's group? We are a support group offering emotional and social support to refugee women and their children. The aim of the group is to provide a safe and relaxed environment where everyone's contribution is valued. Any women are welcome to come along and take part in some of the activities or just meet other women, drink tea and have some food.
For further information call our free telephone number 0800 085 6087.
There are many good organisations that work only with women in Scotland. Go to Useful Contacts to find out about these organisations.

You have the right to be safe while living in the UK. You have the right to be safe in your home, when you go out, within your community, at places you visit and where you work. Women in the UK, including refugees and asylum seekers have rights when they are married or in relationships and if that relationship or marriage ends. You also have rights regarding your children. Women do not have to suffer domestic violence, which is any type of abuse in your home.
