0️⃣7️⃣ One Week for the Elections, New Domestic Violence Law + More Germany's News in English, Jobs, Housing Offers and This Week's Events in Berlin

Feb 16, 2025

Hello dear IWBies ✨

In exactly one week, Germany will hold new elections, and let’s be honest—many of us, especially immigrants, are feeling extremely anxious. The fear of the far-right taking power is real. Maybe it won’t happen this time, but what about the next?

We’re diving deep into this topic in the first section of the newsletter, but we just want to remind you: voting is important. If you have the right to vote, please use it. Don’t sit this one out, and whatever you do, don’t vote for (far) right-wing parties—it’s like shooting yourself in the foot.

And no matter the outcome, one thing remains true: we have to keep fighting and supporting each other in our local communities. This work doesn’t end with an election.

Bruna, Lindelwa and your IWB Team 💖

We are very happy and proud to get msgs like this, thank you! 💖
To run IWB, there’s a group of 6 women, mostly women of color, taking care of different tasks to keep the whole IWB project running. As we continue to grow, our responsibilities grow as well, and we are basically doing this job that takes a lot of our energy, time and mental health for free.

”You give a little, you take a little”
Our ✨dream✨ is to keep supporting the community of women* in Berlin as much as we can, with events, helpful resources, support groups… and in return, we would get at least 1€ from each member that got something positive out of IWB. We host over 36k people right now… even if we got 20k every month, we could hire immigrant women, pay them fairly and find a small whole in the middle of the patriarchal, capitalist system that usually underpays women.
Let's be the change we want to see and not reproduce outdated and harmful systems 💖

To motivate people to support our work, we are giving back some cool perks!
