Membership in Women in Migration Network (WIMN)

Welcome! You will find information on this page about membership in Women in Migration Network and guidelines for applying for membership. At this time, WIMN is only accepting applications for organizational membership. More information will be available soon about individual membership.

Women in Migration Network is a global network of migrant women, gender-diverse people, grassroots organizations, advocates, researchers, labor organizers, and allies working to advance migrant justice through feminist, intersectional, and human rights-based approaches.

We believe that women and people of diverse genders affected by migration must be at the center of policy-making, movement-building, advocacy, and knowledge production. WIMN creates spaces for solidarity, collective action, leadership development, and transnational collaboration across regions and movements.

Whether you are an organization, collective, activist, academic, service provider, union, artist, or community leader, membership in WIMN connects you to a growing global community committed to dignity, justice, and transformative change.
