The items were produced in the framework of the Group for including migrant women into the community. The group’s essential aims are to build a social network between local residents and migrant women, and to strengthen and implement the skills, experiences and courage of migrant women. They meet in asylum homes and outside at social, educational, creative, political and sports activities. They often sit around a big table in the Social Centre Rog, and at one of these gatherings, they started to crochet with the help of informal craftswomen group KvaKvačkaš: baskets, bags, covers for bottles and glasses, carpets, bracelets. While drinking tea and talking about problems, obstacles, wishes and needs, while exchanging experiences and learning new words in different languages, they created many new things. They are looking for opportunities for alternative economy and affirmation of knowledge of migrant women, so they would like to offer these items for sale. The authors are women asylum seekers, women with refugee status from Ljubljana, and activists.
All earnings from contributions will be given directly to women asylum seekers and asylants.
