About Us

This is an initiative funded by Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, and started by a team of women activists with lived experiences of forced migration living in New York City; social work graduate students at Fordham University; and two migration and mental health scholars working to improve access to and utilization of health and mental health care for women asylum seekers in New York City.

We partner with several grassroots organizations providing services and advocating for the rights of asylum seekers.

Mission

To elevate the voices of women with lived experiences of forced migration and build a community.

Vision

To become a central hub of coordinated practice, policy, advocacy, education, training resources, and supportive programming that serves to empower and connect migrant communities in NYC and beyond to claim rights and access effective health and mental healthcare. Using a social determinants of health framework and a human rights paradigm, Her Migrant Hub will address gender and racial injustice, promote the rights of women migrants, and improve migration practices and policies at local and global levels.
