We’re supporting 15 migrant and women of colour journalists to tell powerful stories and build a more inclusive and representative media.
We are a migrant women-led independent media organisation connecting women from diverse backgrounds navigating life in a new place to amplify their voices through journalism.
By placing the diverse voices of migrant and racialised women at the centre of our reporting, features, interviews, opinions and first-hand pieces, we offer an intersectional perspective on migration discussions, confronting the misrepresentation of migrant communities and the systemic lack of diversity in the media landscape.
We will support 15 migrant and women of colour - recent graduates, freelance and aspiring journalists - to uplift their skills and produce impactful stories about critical issues affecting our communities through a six-month fellowship. Following this project, we will provide ongoing support to help them break into the media industry.
The program will offer mentorship, training, and expert-led workshops to equip fellows with the skills needed for good journalism and impactful storytelling. Each fellow will receive fair pay to produce well-researched, in-depth features, investigations and solutions-focused stories, challenging misinformation, shedding light on the most critical issues of our time and inspiring change.
The stories published by the women funded through this project will inform and promote a more humanised discussion of critical issues, empowering people with information and engaging discussion about various issues, including employment, health and well-being, arts, the environment, and social justice, from an intersectional and solutions-oriented perspective.
Our ambition is to support all 15 women in upskilling their skills, building confidence, and finding career opportunities in media and communications through increased funding for Migrant Women Press. We will work in collaboration with our network of dedicated independent media, third-sector and academic partnerships.
The project will culminate in a special print edition featuring their work.
By focusing on the diverse voices of women in our reporting, features, interviews, opinions, and first-hand pieces, we offer an intersectional perspective on migration discussions, confront the misrepresentation of migrant communities and the systemic lack of diversity in the media landscape.
This year, we proudly celebrate our 5th anniversary. For a volunteer-run organisation transitioning to a social enterprise, operating with no core funding, what we've accomplished is truly remarkable:
And we’ve done all of this without corporate funding, paid ads, or wealthy backers—powered instead by volunteers, small grants, and the unwavering support of our community.
Now, we need your help to take this work further.
Every pound you give goes a long way. In fact, 98p of every £1 is directly invested in supporting women from diverse backgrounds through training, mentoring, and impactful storytelling.
Here's how your donation can make a difference:
We are a newsroom led by migrant women and women of colour—operating in a world where migrants are scapegoated, women are silenced, and racialised communities are pushed to the margins.
As anti-immigrant sentiment grows, racial injustice deepens, and gender inequality persists, trusted, public-interest journalism has never been more essential. Yet, our voices remain underrepresented—or misrepresented—by mainstream media.
We exist to change that.
Migrant Women Press is building a media space where diverse women lead the conversation, report from lived experience, and challenge dominant narratives. We bring untold stories to light, offering the nuance, depth, and truth that traditional media too often neglects.
In a time when independent journalism is under threat and funding is increasingly scarce, our work is both urgent and vulnerable.
We’re transitioning from a volunteer-run initiative into a sustainable, independent newsroom—and to keep doing this vital work, we need your support.
Your donation supports and grows Migrant Women Press, empowering migrant and racialised women journalists to tell the stories that matter. Your support fuels a movement.
Help us amplify marginalised voices and tell the stories mainstream media ignores. Every action—donating, sharing, or spreading the word—keeps our mission alive.
Your generosity funds the Migrant Women Press Fellowship, providing 15 migrant women and women of colour journalists with the opportunity to report on critical issues, challenge dominant narratives, and amplify underrepresented voices. Your support ensures they receive specialised training, mentorship, and resources to develop powerful, impactful stories that drive change.
Together, we can challenge the status quo, shift narratives, and bring fresh, vital perspectives to the issues that matter most.
Reaching our £16,000 goal will sustain our fellowship program, but exceeding it will strengthen Migrant Women Press’ long-term sustainability, ensuring more voices are heard, more stories are told, and more opportunities are created.
We have built something powerful, but we need your support to sustain it.
As we celebrate our 5th Anniversary, we want to grow strong with your support.
If you believe in the power of independent journalism and the importance of the media reflecting us all, please donate today.
Together, we can ensure that the stories that matter get told—and that the women who tell them are heard.
Your support doesn’t just fund journalism—it fuels a movement. By donating, you help migrant women reclaim their narratives, challenge misinformation, and ensure our voices are heard.
