Brazilian Women's Group

Founded in 1995 by visionary Brazilian women seeking community and solidarity, the Brazilian Women's Group has grown into a thriving non-profit serving the Brighton, MA region and beyond. This organization emerged from a simple but powerful idea: that immigrant women from Brazil needed a dedicated space to discuss their experiences, share their stories, and support one another through the complexities of building new lives in America. Today, the Brazilian Women's Group represents a rich tapestry of women—grandmothers and mothers, students and professionals, housekeepers and health workers—each bringing their own perspective and wisdom to the collective mission. Based in Allston with strong community partnerships, the organization is committed to promoting political and cultural awareness while celebrating the contributions of Brazilian women to American society. The Brazilian Women's Group's work is grounded in the belief that community connection and mutual support are essential to thriving as an immigrant woman. With backing from respected institutions and funding partners dedicated to worker health and safety, the organization continues to expand its reach and deepen its impact. Open to all interested women, the Brazilian Women's Group remains a beacon of hope, empowerment, and cultural pride for the Brazilian community in Brighton and the surrounding region.
