While all refugees face employment barriers, refugee women in particular face an even bigger employment gap due to various obstacles, including structural gender inequality.
Businesses in Europe are well-positioned to address this challenge. By mobilizing their employees to provide professional mentorship to refugee women – including resume writing, best practices for job interviews, and insights into the local job market – businesses can play a critical role in helping this population gain employment. When refugee women find meaningful work, they can gain financial independence, develop a sense of belonging, and contribute to the economy.
