Migrant Women’s Center Provides Support, Assistance

Anna, like many employees of the Center, has experienced the difficulties of living in Korea as a migrant woman. “In this center, I can help legally my Uzbek friends and other migrant women who have difficulties with family,” she explained in English. “I’m not a migrant woman, I’m not Korean, I’m not Uzbek, I’m just a woman and I can work. We can work with migrant women and Korean people together. If, for example, I work in another office like a bank or police station … and there are only Korean people and it’s just me, it’s difficult to work with them because it’s only me. But here, I can see the same people like me. I may feel alone if I’m only one person, only one foreigner.”
