We, Women in Exile & Friends, will exchange information about the Corona crisis together with the women in the Camps, accompany and empower each other. We will do this digital.

That is what we want to do:

• We share our knowledge about free and easily accessible video conferencing facilities in telephone conversations. Since there is very often no Wlan in the rooms, we will need money for the mobile data of the women.
• We break the isolation by sharing knowledge. The women lived in isolation in the camps even before the “social-distancing” through Corona. We want to empower ourselves to demand solid information, transparency and the right to have a say from the authorities.
• We exchange information on preventive measures to prevent or slow down the spread of the corona virus. Even though we realise that this is impossible in overcrowded camps. The problem is a structural one and cannot be solved by washing hands. Racism and mass housing is the problem and this can now have catastrophic consequences.

The first part of the campaign will be to contact the women by telephone, explaining to them how to take part in a video conferencing workshop.

The second part will be the digital workshop where we will discuss the impact of the Corona crisis in the refugee community.
