Women's Development Project
The Women’s Development Project started in July 2005 and is based in Leicester and Nottingham.
This three-year project works in partnership with other service providers, refugee groups and voluntary organisations in these cities to improve access to services for female asylum seekers and refugees. We particularly give support on education, healthcare and maternity provision.
