This photo-essay book offers an insight into how women with a migration background in Spain, Poland, Belgium, Austria and Italy define and experience ‘empowerment’. Using photos and discussing what these photos mean to them, these women share moments, people, ideas in their lives that made them feel empowered or that reflect empowerment and how it is shaped by their living conditions. You will find pictures and quotes from women all across the globe, from Ukrainian refugees in Poland to Latin-American students in Spain and Asian entrepreneurs in Austria, accompanied by the meanings these women give to these pictures.
This book is the result of a collaborative research project called ReIncluGen (Rethinking Inclusion and Gender empowerment) which involves research institutions, civil society organisations and their participants. The ReIncluGen project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research & Innovative Action under Grant Agreement No. 101093987.
