How migrant women are giving Melbourne trams a new life
Nearly 80 per cent of Melbourne’s tram seats are now reupholstered by women from migrant, refugee and asylum-seeker backgrounds.
Nearly half a million people ride Melbourne’s trams each day, but few know the story behind the seats they sit on. This episode follows Farah, a former refugee from Iran, and other migrant, refugee and asylum-seeker women working with social enterprise SisterWorks to refurbish tram seats. The partnership with Yarra Trams is creating jobs, reducing waste, and helping women build financial independence and belonging in Australia.
