The way Women of the World achieves its mission of “supporting refugee women to achieve their dreams” is by:

1. Training them in conversational English using the ‘classroom of the community’
2. Ensure their physical and mental health is treated before requiring further achievement in academia or industry.
3. Developing differentiated job skills in language, service, or creative industries that move their earnings up the value chain quickly.
4. Giving everyone the opportunity of further education.
5. Helping monetarily or through advocacy when unfortunate events occur in any stage of resettlement.
