Project Summary

Young migrant women often face multiple barriers to education, employment, and active participation in society. Herizon strengthens their essential life skills, confidence, and resilience so they can successfully integrate into their communities and pursue their personal and professional goals. By developing practical competencies and creating supportive learning environments, the project empowers young migrant women while equipping youth workers and NGOs with innovative, gender-sensitive tools to better support their integration journey.
