(she gives back) Migrant women’s philanthropic practices from the diaspora

With the intention to leverage more visibility and support for migrant women’s philanthropic contributions, Mama Cash initiated the project (she gives back). One of the project aims was to map the variety of women’s initiatives in the area of diaspora philanthropy in five European countries. The project resulted in the research report ‘(she gives back) > Migrant women’s philanthropic practices from the diaspora’, that explores the unique role migrant women play in diaspora philanthropy, and highlights their efforts contributing to positive developments back home. (She gives back) focuses on five European countries-Italy, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and France-and provides a first look at how migrant women influence wider social change through continued financial support-of their families, communities and personal networks in their home countries.
