FEIMEM (https://feimem.web.uah.es/) is an innovative and ground-breaking initiative that takes a unique approach to empowering migrant women. What sets FEIMEM apart is its recognition of the untapped potential of qualified migrant women who are already integrated into Spanish society. These women, fluent in Spanish and with valuable skills in translation, interpretation, or mediation, become powerful agents of change and transformation. FEIMEM aims to harness their skills and experiences to promote their visibility, empowerment, and access to the job market. It addresses the crucial task of creating an inclusive and equitable society, where these women can thrive and become a driving force for positive change. The strength of this proposal lies in the impressive track record of the FITISPos group, which has been a pioneering force in the field of Translation and Interpretation in Public Services (PSIT) since 2000’s. Their expertise in intercultural communication is unparalleled, having extensively researched the multicultural and multilingual aspects of institutional communication with migrant populations. By drawing on the expertise of FITISPos, FEIMEM is carefully tailored to address the specific challenges faced by migrant women in intercultural communication. This deep understanding allows for an empathetic and effective approach, facilitating their integration and empowerment. FEIMEM is a timely response to the real needs of migrant women, combining their skills with the expertise of specialists, thus creating a synergy that promotes inclusion, celebrates diversity, and strives for equality.
