CICAN au féminin
at the service of immigrant women
To support women with a migrant background and offer them tailor-made services, CICAN has developed a comprehensive program including gender-based violence awareness workshops, a mentoring program, and an adapted psychological support service.
Workshops
Our workshops are designed to provide a safe, inclusive and culturally appropriate space, where women can share experiences, feel supported, gain new knowledge and develop practical skills to address gender-based violence. Our added value is to include men and boys to be part of the solution and help build a safer and more equitable society for all women.
