Immigrant women have been promoted as a priority category for public intervention. Civic integration measures have been developed, for example: free access to language courses, employment services, incorporation of anti-discriminatory measures, among others.

Limitations: Stigmatizing; “Culturalizing” and “moralizing” citizenship through a postcolonial normative framework; Patronalizing “women’s participatory integration” and the silencing of political dissent.
Recommendations: Consider the heterogeneity of the group; eliminate the image of victim/submission; critically evaluate postcolonial policies; make political discontent and social marginalization visible.

The Community Centers of the municipalities and the Migrant Integration Centers attend to the individual needs of third-country nationals by offering “One Stop-Shop” services in collaboration with other directorates and centers

Limitations: social exclusion at multiple levels, lack of effective integration policy and barriers towards accessing formal employment, formal education, social care and housing, healthcare and intercultural coexistence.
Recommendations: Support regarding the Greek language learning for refugees and migrants tailored to needs and locations of residence, establishment of an enhanced labour complaint mechanism, supportive programmes for starting a business and activities, provision of legal assistance and support regarding regularization, measures to combat stereotypes and racism, gender based violence, improvement of translation and mediation services in public administration, support of needs of migrant women/mothers, empowerment and civic participation.

It is the third sector that has a fundamental role in the development of inclusion strategies and actions for migrant women, with specific reference to some interesting local experiences of NGOs/cultural associations (migrant, migrant women’s or mixed associations), mingled with women’s networking, and cases of institutional involvement of migrant women into social, cultural and political life.

There is the National Network to Support the Integration of Migrants, made up of ) the National Support Centers for Migrant Integration (CNAIM) and the Local Support Centers for Migrant Integration (CLAIM). Likewise, the associative movement of immigrants is of great importance.

However, the Project Team on Intersectional Inequalities has been created, translates the recognition of the need for a gender sensitive approach in the analysis and intervention in the field of migration.
Recommendations: To promote associations and support existing associations and immigrants, as well as social and religious entities.

In the integration of women, NGOs and activists acquire great importance. These assume the main role that must be played by state institutions. Likewise, informal networks such as family and friends acquire a fundamental role.

Limitation: lack of help and state support. Non-consideration of the gender approach.
Recommendation: Promote greater involvement of the State

The competences in this matter belong to the Autonomous Communities, the State and the local administrations. Likewise, non-profit entities have a fundamental role

Limitations: Lack of guidance and assistance
Recommendations: promote the joint commitment of the various entities active in the matter; consider the double dimension they have as women and as migrants in different areas: education, family, housing...
