In just under three minutes, we summarize why the work of the International Women's Organisation in Malmö is so important.

Four of the many incredible women we meet through our work each illustrate a common prejudice that creates barriers for women with a foreign background to enter the labor market or pursue education.
A small contribution. A powerful change.
At IKF Malmö, women from all over the world come together. Some come to find their way into Swedish society or the labour market, while others seek a sense of belonging, to share experiences, and build friendships.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference - creating opportunities for community, empowerment, and a better future for women in Malmö. You are warmly welcome to become a member or make a donation!

ABOUT US
The International Women’s Organisation in Malmö (IKF Malmö) is a non-political and non-religious non-profit organisation that has been a driving force for gender equality, democracy, and the inclusion of immigrant women in the Öresund region since 1970.

As a pioneer among women’s organisations  in Sweden and a co-founder of the International Women’s Federation, we offer a dynamic and democratic meeting place where women can grow and thrive. At IKF Malmö, we speak 19 different languages and work with tailored tools and projects to meet the unique needs of each individual, making us distinctive in our approach to inclusion.
STORIES
Nadira came to Sweden from Bangladesh two years ago. She was very worried about her future, as she had no formal education and feared she wouldn’t find a job in Sweden. Nadira connected with IKF Malmö and became interested in our vocational preparatory course in Care & Health. Being far from her family, she felt a strong desire to care for others. Last spring, Nadira started and successfully completed the course with us.

"I want to recommend this course to other women. Mone, the course instructor, helps us a lot and gives us valuable advice. Every part of the course is very good."

After completing the course, Nadira secured a position at a care home in Limhamn. She shares that she enjoys working there, her colleagues are friendly, and the manager is very supportive.

"I wanted to give back. When I care for the residents, it feels like I am taking care of my own parents."
