Women* Health Justice
Women*, and women* of color in particular, face structural forms of discrimination within the health sector in Germany. Based on their own experiences', advocates for health justice and refugee rights (such as Women in Exile, Space2Grow, International Woman Space) address questions of health, care and healing by means of information, education, accompaniment and self-empowerment in refugee camps. During 2025 these organizations, their partners and Spore collaborated to create diverse spaces for encounter and peer-to-peer exchange around women* health justice
prevention and popular medicine, access to healthcare, the entanglements , this project aimed to strengthen the capacities of the caretakers as well as women* in camps.
Understanding the entanglements between climate change, migration and well-being
Knowledge production and sharing from within and for the community (languages etc) as well as making existing resources and information accessible for the communities
Create spaces of “socio-cultural” exchange of practices and activities for self-care (community care) and well-being
Speaking about Reproductive Justice means more than the right to have or not to have children. it is about political, social, racial and economic justice. It means for women* to have the power and resourcesto make informed decisions about their bodies , families and futures.
It is also about having spaces where concerns are taken seriously, where experiences can be shared without taboos, and where women* can accompany each other in processes of joy and grief.

Connect to yourself, release tension with dance and movement, and find collective joy!
In the four workshops facilitated by Jacky Njoki & guests (Fariba Fazeli and Zeky) the participants explored together how dance and movement can support women* to reconnect with themselves and their bodies, to release tensions and to find healing in self-expresssion. Together they created a space for well-being, resilience and the spirit of collective liberation.
"I believe in dance as medicine - a tol for reclaiming space and joy, grounding ourselves and expressing what wordsa cannot always hold."
