About Us

Who are we ?

WSSAG is a group where women can come and meet and learn from one another and share experiences with total confidence, also making friends and connections. We are an advocacy and research group which works with and for refugee women and their families to enhance their ability to rebuild their lives.

We are committed to campaigning on women’s asylum issues, to promote positive opportunities, social cohesion, build confidence and self-esteem, and to enhance active citizenship.

We empower and support women seeking sanctuary in Wales to voice their needs and represent themselves at strategic and policy making levels. WSSAG is committed to signpost women to anti-deportation campaign organisations.
