On April 20 and 21, 2026 the two-day seminar “Migrant women and male violence” took place at the Europahaus Vienna. The focus was on the particular challenges faced by migrant women affected by violence and the specific counseling situation in women’s and migrant women’s counseling centers.

Angela Ivezic was involved as a seminar leader and organized several workshops on legal input and innovations relating to residence and employment – with a particular focus on the situation of victims of family violence.

The seminar offered space for professional exchange, reflection and practical consolidation. It is particularly important in day-to-day counseling work to look at complex legal issues, experiences of violence, addictions and migration-specific challenges together.

For the Counseling Center for Migrants, participation in such specialist events is an important contribution to quality assurance and the further development of counseling practice.

migrant was represented at yesterday’s Anti-Racism Day at Vienna City Hall. The event provided a space for exchange, networking and a joint signal against racism and for respectful coexistence in Vienna.

The focus was also on the Vienna Action Plan against Racism. The City of Vienna is pursuing the goal of ensuring that all people have equal opportunities and can live free from racism in Vienna. The focus is on concrete measures in those areas that fall within the sphere of action and responsibility of the City of Vienna. The action plan is aimed in particular at politicians, the administration and other relevant city institutions.

The information material on the action plan available at the event made it clear that anti-racism is not just a social attitude, but also requires concrete structures, responsibility and cooperation. For migrant, participation was therefore an important opportunity to visibly support these issues and further strengthen professional exchange.
