Network Of Eritrean Women

Network of Eritrean Women-UK (NEW-UK) is the only specialist organization in the UK supporting the needs of Eritrean women. NEW-UK is a women's non-profit organization set up to support Eritrean women. Our aim is to facilitate the tools for Eritrean women to assert their human rights and pursue personal empowerment, development and social change. We are a holistic organization and provide cultural and linguistic specialist advice, information, advocacy, workshops and wellbeing drop targeted to support Eritrean women. NEW-UK launched in 2014 following the critical need for a UK-wide support network to mobilize information and resources for Eritrean women, many of whom have fled the brutal dictatorship in Eritrea and forced conscription. We support many Eritrean refugee and asylum-seeking women who have endured a significant amount of trauma and many of whom are suffering in silence.
