Living in a safe space is a fundamental condition for the well-being and social inclusion of women and adolescents who are victims or survivors of trafficking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a world where migrant women face daily challenges, the <\/strong>SAFEHUT<\/strong><\/a> project offers a tangible opportunity for empowerment and integration<\/strong>. On 17th December 2024, the Spazio 3 Navate at Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa in Palermo hosted an event focused on the Women and Girls Safe Space (WGSS)<\/em>, a key initiative of the SAFEHUT project, coordinated by CESIE<\/strong> in collaboration with Centro <\/strong><\/a>P<\/a><\/strong>enc<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event was an important occasion to share the project\u2019s progress and ongoing activities, highlighting SAFEHUT\u2019s pivotal role in supporting migrant women and girls<\/strong>. In a welcoming and safe environment, participants have been able to engage in training and personal development, gaining new skills and improving their quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A particularly significant part of the event was the showcase of workshops run by the women themselves, demonstrating the positive impact of the skills they have acquired. The activities included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another key element of the project is the Child-care<\/strong> service, which has been an integral part of the space for some time. This service enables mothers to take part in WGSS activities while their children are cared for in a secure and supportive environment. With the presence of a cultural mediator and an experienced educator, both specialised in supporting children with a migrant background, families receive valuable and continuous assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The work carried out by the WGSS has had a profound impact on the lives of the women involved, offering not only personal support but also tools to strengthen social and community connections<\/strong>. This holistic approach has created a space where beneficiaries feel welcomed, safe, and empowered to build a better future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The WGSS initiative and the SAFEHUT project concretely demonstrate how a safe space can transform into an engine of inclusion, growth and autonomy for women and adolescents who are victims or survivors of trafficking. By providing a protected environment, educational pathways and supportive activities, these spaces not only address immediate needs, but also lay the foundation for a more independent and dignified future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more, write to Cristina Idone Befecadu: cristina.idonebefecadu@cesie.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SAFE HUT \u2013 Holding safe spaces for women and girls\u2019 empowerment<\/a> is a project funded by the European Commission, DG for Migration and Home Affairs (HOME), Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read about Safe Hut<\/a>, visit the website <\/a>and follow us on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
