Struggle Care Joy is a development trajectory taking place throughout 2025 and 2026. An initiative of the group La Candidate Sans-Papiers, Struggle Care Joy aims to be a safer space where women from different backgrounds and struggles can meet, exchange tools for struggle and organise politically via practice-based workshops, moments of reflection and public actions.
