On Friday 4 March 2016, the Association de Soutien aux Travailleurs Immigrés (ASTI) held an event for female Luxembourg MPs and refugees as part of International Women's Day.

The meeting brought together MPs or their representatives, as well as female refugees from Syria, Iraq, Turkish Kurdistan, Palestine and Russia. The event presented the opportunity for the female refugees to talk about their aspirations and concerns, whilst the politicians were able to speak directly to the refugees and take note of their problems.

Following the meeting, it was agreed that such events would be carried out regularly.
