We would like to invite you for another of our intercultural meetings. This time its focus is going to be Islam. Together we are going to learn what do those who follow Islam believe in.  We are going to do so from a point of view of a person raised without being a believer and therefore in a matter that is comprehensible even for an ateist. We have also invited Mr Ahsan who we share his story.

• When: on Monday, 26th October from 6 PM
• Where: online on Skype

If you are interested in attending please send an email to konradova@migrace.com to register.

We will send link by email to registered participants.

The meeting is going to be in English and it is going to be moderated by Marek Procházka.

We are looking forward to meeting you.

On Wednesday, August 12, 2020, our organization SIMI, together with ČŽL, the Women's Roma Group “Manushe” and similar group Slovo 21, organized a picnic in the community center of Kotlaska. Around thirty women of various origins, religions and ages gathered in this event. However, we all had the same goal - to get to know each other and enjoy the evening together. Throughout the picnic we were accompanied by beautiful weather, great food, and fun activities. Nevertheless, the whole event had a deeper goal than just this.

ATTENTION! Important notice concerning residence: The transition period after the COVID-19 measures terminates on July 17, 2020. After that date, all residence procedures will be dealt with according to the Act on Residence of Foreign Nationals. Most importantly, it will no longer be possible to submit your residence application via post, if your presence in person is required.

The Association for Integration and Migration (SIMI), the Czech Women's Lobby (ČŽL) and the Roma Women's Group Manushe (Word 21) have joined forces to point out women who are not visible or heard in society. These institutions organized a joint debate, which allowed such women to talk about their problems in an emergency in the Czech Republic and to point out some of the problems that minority women in the Czech Republic face.

Each of them came up with a different story, each went through different challenges, regarding health, work, family or personal issues. However, they all combined a determination to overcome the pandemic crisis with a positive attitude and, if possible, they helped other people around them.

In cooperation with the Czech Women's Lobby, we have prepared information leaflets on the topic of pregnancy, childbirth and childcare for migrant women living in the Czech Republic. In these leaflets you will find answers to questions:

• What to do?
• Whom to ask?
• What is a birth plan?
• What are my rights?
