maiz

projects

Developing and executing projects becomes more and more of an ecomomic necessity as funding of daily work continually decreases. But it also creates the opportunity to focus on different daily experiences and work on them through different point of views and areas of expertise.

principles

Autonomy: maiz is independently run. maiz is not affiliated with any party, church or other form of organization.

Self-organization: The first and foremost requirement for our work is that we are self-organized. maiz is a self-organization run by migrant women with an acute awareness and critical distance from neoliberal ideas.

Collective Self-Empowerment: We address the existing structures of power and domination critically in order to change them.
