What We Value
Empowering
Connecting Women
We empower newcomer, immigrant and refugee women by centering their voices and amplifying their stories. Our efforts, initiatives and contributions are all in response to the constantly changing needs, expectations and feedback. We harness the power of connecting to advocate for newcomer, immigrant and refugee women.
Storytelling
Project Cross-Cultural Understanding
Every woman deserves a chance to change her world. We want to be a safe space where newcomer, immigrant and refugee women can share their stories and lived experiences, so together we can cultivate a sense of belonging and empowerment. We use storytelling to bring about social change.
Community
Promoting Progress
We strive to build an inclusive community for newcomer, immigrant and refugee women that allows our members to fully and equally participate in all aspects of Swedish society. We address the needs of our community, helping remove barriers to economic, social and civic participation, and build a sense of community and belonging, as they move towards better, brighter futures and richer, more fulfilled lives.
Inspiration
Moving Forward Together
Building genuine connections, celebrating achievements and increasing visibility, through an empowered, diverse and inclusive community that helps newcomer, immigrant and refugee women recognize and be recognized for their personal and professional value. We hope to inspire a sense of engagement and belonging with our platform, and provide this community of women with a transformative experience.
Diversity and Inclusion
Stronger Together
Diversity and Inclusion are at the heart of what we do. We embrace the diverse and rich perspectives, knowledge, backgrounds and identities of our members. We purposefully include and center the narratives and experiences of all newcomer, immigrant and refugee women regardless of their immigration status, physical abilities, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status.
Paying It Forward
Mentoring Movement
Potential is equally distributed, but opportunity is not. BKA aims to drive equity and close the gap through quality mentoring relationships. We believe Mentoring amplifies change, one relationship at a time. Are you ready to join the BKA mentoring movement?
