Migrant Women’s Rights Service – Training and Support
Do you work with migrant women who are pregnant or new mothers?
Do you need help to sort out income, housing and access to services for these women?
The Migrant Women’s Rights Service provides advice to volunteers, advisers, community workers, midwives and maternity support workers who are supporting migrant women who are pregnant or new mothers.
We provide advice on the housing and support options for all migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, including women who have overstayed their visas. We also provide advice on NHS charging and access to NHS maternity care.
This is a confidential advice service for those working with vulnerable migrant women. We are unable to provide advice to individual women.
