The project

Women rightsInternational aid
Sistech is committed to helping refugee women choose a qualified and sustainable professional future that will enable them to achieve economic and social emancipation. Sistech fights the "it's better than nothing" attitude by demanding equal opportunities for everyone in France, Italy and Greece.

Solution

In Europe, the unemployment rate for refugee women is twice that of refugee men, even though they are, on average, twice as qualified.

Sistech has co-constructed a support program exclusively for refugee women, asylum seekers, and women benefiting from subsidiary or temporary protection. This is to put an end to this waste of skills and talents, and enable them to return to a dignified and ordinary life.

Use of the money

Donations will fund:
- Training
- French classes
- Childcare
- Psychosocial support
- Travel expenses (company visits and job interviews)
- Loan of IT equipment (computers, wifi boxes)
Why we love it?

Sistech's winning bet is to capitalize on the know-how and expertise of refugee women to meet the recruitment needs of the tech sector, while imposing the utmost rigor on the quality of what is offered.

It is my hope that one day we will no longer associate a person's skills and social value with the nationality on their passport.
