Refugee Women's Network, Inc. (RWN) is a national non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. RWN works exclusively with refugee and immigrant women to enhance their strength, skills and courage through leadership training, education and advocacy. == History == RWN was founded in 1995 by a group of women who went to the United States as refugees. They lived and worked in different parts of the country. They had experienced the refugee resettlement process and had worked in social service agencies that provided support to refugees. Through their collective experience, they knew that women’s skills, courage and experiences were not being adequately supported. Xuan Nguyen-Sutter, a founding member and the first executive director of RWN reflects, "Women are the glue that holds family members together and yet when agencies resettle refugees, they put the men to work, the children in school and somehow the women are forgotten." In 1995, a handful of thoughtful, committed women comprising a Vietnamese from Atlanta, a Laotian Hmong from Milwaukee, an Iranian from New York and an Ethiopian from Los Angeles formed the Refugee Women's Network, Inc., with a vision to be the catalyst that empowers refugee and immigrant women to reclaim their collective voices and reach their full societal participation potential through active participation and taking leadership roles in their local, national and international communities.
