What do we do?
Kurdish and Middle Eastern Women’s Organisation is a ‘led by and for’ Black and Minoritised women’s organisation with a focus on Kurdish, Middle Eastern and North African (KMENA) women in London who are survivors of domestic abuse and harmful practices.
Driven by the values of equality, empowerment and justice, we came together 27 years ago with an aim of providing holistic services, culturally competent and mother tongue accompanying survivors in their journey towards safety, recovery and rebuilding.
Our holistic services are FREE and provided in women-only spaces at a safe and confidential environment.
Our Journey
Our Aim
Our aim is to empower KMENA women to recover from domestic abuse and harmful practices by enhancing their access to education, employment, and social participation, promoting their rights and improving their quality of life.
Our Mission
To ensure that KMENA women living in the UK are supported and empowered to achieve a better standard of life, free from any violence and with legal freedoms promoted and protected.
Our Values
We strive for all women’s Equality, Justice, and Empowerment.
Board of Trustees
A board of eight trustees comprised of women from the Kurdish community, manages KMEWO. The board meets every three months to monitor the performance of the organisation, to determine policy issues, and to decide on the long-term strategy. In between the Trustee meetings, the Chair discusses and deals with the operational issues along with the Director.
