Empowerment of women from ethnic minorities

EYE will be running Spring Hill Women’s Group as part of service provision for women particularly from ethnic minorities. The group will be run by women for women and young girls.  It will offer a whole range of activities, initiatives and programmes to empower women in a safe and secure environment with child care facilities.

Spring Hill Women’s Group will provide a forum for mothers, young girls and professional’s to take part in the local community to bring positive changes and tackle issue of anti-social behaviour, social exclusion and greater empowerment of women from ethnic minorities.

The aim of the group will be two folds.  Firstly, volunteers will be asked to help, support and supervise sport and educational programmes for young girls.  Young girls will be encouraged to play a creative role in regenerating their community and creating a safer environment for everyone.  This will be done by providing the skills and opportunities to develop their personal skills and improve their social, physical and economic environment.

Secondly, in a relationship of two equals, you have father and mother; husband and wife; brother and sister; son and daughter.  Spring Hill Women’s Group will work to empower the mother, wife, sister and the daughter.

Also, when a wife moves with her husband, she leaves her immediate family (mum and dad also sister(s) and brother(s)) and friends who she grew up with.  Spring Hill Women’s Group will be part of the family in the CommUNITY.

Spring Hill Women’s group will respect the cultural values, the unique traditions and religious sensibilities of the ethnic minorities.  Improve community relationships, co-hesion and culture diversity. The group will help deliver creative, dynamic and innovative programmes.
