Roj Women works on community development in the UK and campaigns for far-reaching legal and political reforms in Turkey with the ultimate aim of improving the lives of Kurdish and non-Kurdish women in Turkey. Through our community work we pursue the empowerment of women among the Kurdish migrant population in the UK by means of:\\seminars and trainings to advance general education and knowledge of rights,\language courses, counselling sessions, apprenticeships and other similar work related training to develop women's skills in order to tackle unemployment,\provision of facilities for community recreation,\psychological support and legal and general advice for victims of domestic violence and forced marriage\\To achieve our objectives we work in partnership with other UK-based women's rights organisation and statutory agencies in England.\\Our campaigning work aims to tackle the double discrimination Kurdish women are subject to as a result of their gender and of their ethnicity in their countries of origin. We want to improve the lives and expand the opportunities available to women living in Kurdish regions by means of drawing attention to the political factors that shape their particular struggle and of lobbying and campaigning for the necessary changes to overcome them.
