Women's Voices creates safe spaces for growth, healing, learning, leadership, and opportunity.

Women’s Voices is a feminist organisation, established in 2013 and rooted in the Longsight area of Manchester, with a reach across Greater Manchester. We are by women, for women. We provide a safe, women-only, non-judgemental space where women from global majority communities including women seeking asylum and refugees can build confidence, gain new skills to develop pathways to employment and become the leaders rooted in grassroots community power.

As a women’s organisation in the city where the suffragette movement began, we hold the word feminist deliberately: the forces that keep women down are political, and naming them is part of the work. Our mission is to enable women to achieve empowerment, equality and inclusion, to overcome the barriers holding them back, and to become ambassadors for other women, so that women’s voices are nurtured, heard and amplified.
