Australia has one of the highest refugee resettlement rates in the world. Although many women refugees have had to flee from their countries as a result of war and other crises, adjustment to life in a new country also presents significant challenges.
Immigrant and refugee women in Australia suffer on many levels: economic, social, cultural, educational, in addition to language barriers. Art of Living volunteers in Sydney are running programs for migrant and refugee women from mixed religious and cultural backgrounds. These programs create positive personal outcomes for the women, presenting aspects of health and wellbeing in a culturally sensitive manner. The sessions teach home nutrition, relationship building, personal development, stress management and build awareness around their health and wellbeing.
