Our Objectives

The sudden eruption of today’s global health pandemic COVID-19, in a world already experiencing
rapid technological change, economic downturn (Global financial crisis 2007-2009), competition for
resources and an increase in society’s awareness of social issues (climate change, equality of
opportunity, diversity, and inclusion) are all forces exerting tremendous pressure on companies
which can no longer guarantee either long-term or full-time employment. Peripheral positions,
usually occupied by women from migrant and refugee backgrounds, are rendered unstable as less
agile companies are forced to ‘Trim or Shut’ thus reducing career opportunities.
Against the backdrop of today’s health and socioeconomics challenges How-Are-You magazine
focuses on building a healthy society by shedding some light on the intersectionality between
gender, ethnicity, and its impact.

We aim to:

▪ Build bridges of understanding between women from migrant and refugee backgrounds and
the rest of the society.
▪ Provide an in-depth understanding of challenges that women from migrant and refugee
backgrounds face, to help inform policy and decision makers and to enhance service
provision and to foster social cohesion in our society.
▪ Build the capacity of women through shared leadership and multi stakeholder partnerships,
innovative projects, training, and workshops specifically tailored to women’s needs so as to
enhance civic and economic participation as well as social health.
▪ Build capacity through our internship program to aspiring magazine writers, editors,
photographers, videographers, and journalists. How-Are-You is a platform for coaching and
mentoring emerging artists who will work closely with our L&D program team.
▪ Celebrate success stories of women from migrant and refugee backgrounds who have made
a positive impact in our society and/or shattered glass ceilings in every sector.
▪ Uncover hidden talents of the most marginalised and vulnerable women from migrant and
refugee backgrounds in our society and to assist them in accessing employment.
▪ Positively contribute to enhancing best service delivery models for women from migrant and
refugee backgrounds.
