Funds raised will be used to support migrant women aspiring to work in tourism and hospitality to access relevant training.
For International Women's Day 2024, WITH Tas successfully collaborated with the Migrant Resource Centre (MRC) Tasmania to host a dinner designed to introduce and connect industry leaders with MRC staff and clients. (Read more about the outcomes from this event here.)
Catering was provided by Iraqui Cuisine, run by migrant Nagham Al-knani and her daughters. Nagham also spoke of her migrant journey, its challenges and how crucial support can be on many levels. Her stories inspired our committee to look for a practical way to assist migrant women.
Working again in collaboration with the MRC, WITH Tas will assist with funding, connections and mentoring wherever possible to welcome more migrant women into our industry, whether as employees or small business owners themselves.
