Migrant women: Narratives and perceptions

This policy brief, developed by UN Women and Oxfam as part of the Making Migration Safe for Women Programme, examines how these narratives take shape and why they matter:

As the Belgian partner, we would like to share one of our favorite stories of integration, and the challenges faced, specially in the diverse city of Brussels.

At 33, this Ukrainian woman arrived in Belgium about a year and a half after the war began, bringing with her a strong sense of initiative and community focus. Though not formally employed, she quickly became active in volunteer work and played a key role in setting up a Ukrainian NGO aimed at helping others integrate and find employment. She’s now participating in a vocational training programme for retail and working to improve her Dutch. However, French remains a barrier—particularly in Brussels—making it difficult for her to secure internship placements and navigate local institutions. Support from social workers has also been inconsistent, adding to her challenges.
Despite these hurdles, she engages confidently with digital tools to manage administrative tasks and stay connected with public services. Her experience with digital systems is practical and growing, especially through her involvement in local networks and community initiatives. While her long-term plans are clouded by uncertainty—her temporary residence permit expires in 2026—she’s focused on making the most of her training in the time she has. For now, her energy is directed toward gaining the skills and support she needs to transition into stable work, though the future remains undecided.

- a Toolkit of Learning Scenarios -

One of the next steps in the project is the development of a Toolkit of Learning Scenarios. Learning Scenarios are practical, ready-to-use guides that help educators implement digital storytelling in a structured and meaningful way. They outline clear steps, methods and tools, making it easy to integrate creative storytelling activities into adult education.

Each Learning Scenario shows:
• how learners explore, reflect and create their own stories
• which digital and narrative skills are practiced
• how language development and participation are supported
• how accessible, inclusive learning environments can be created

Learning Scenarios turn digital storytelling into a guided, learner-centered learning experience. uniT
