The WRAP Newsletter
The WRAP is MCWH's monthly newsletter and stands for Women's Research Advocacy & Policy.
Each month, we publish an in-depth article examining a current issue affecting migrant and refugee women and gender-diverse people in Australia. Drawing on our intersectional research lens, we unpack the systems and structures shaping these issues, offering insight, context and analysis to deepen understanding and inform action.
You can explore a selection of articles, or subscribe to receive The WRAP each month and stay informed on the issues that matter most.
