Story
NewHive community was founded in Stockholm in 2021 with an ambitious mission to transform the world into a place where migrant, refugee and ethnic minority women do not only act as recepients of help but decision-makers and leaders, fully in charge of their own lives. We have created a space for immigrant women and non-binary with the feminist vision to find each other, come together and find ground for collaborative work across our differences. Our members create safe spaces for the most discriminated against persons in our societies - migrant and refugee women. Where they come to heal, exchange, learn and co-create their own lives and stories.
Purpose
- Provides a private environment where women and non-binary people can freely voice their ideas and doubts.
- We care about the connections for those who are new, not likes or popularity.
- Provides a Mentoring relationship for persons seeking guidance and assistance in their personal and professional growth.
- Provides information about organizations that may be useful if someone requires assistance with a specific topic.
- For those who are new to Sweden, there is a section where you may find some fascinating content about the country.
