On Tuesday 10 November 2026, the association Femmes Pionnières du Luxembourg presented its new book, Mir sinn op Lëtzebuerg komm, featuring the personal stories of sixteen women with migration backgrounds who actively contribute to Luxembourgish society.
The book was presented during a press conference, which organisers described as “emotional”, with the women's stories resonating strongly with those in attendance.
The publication explores the women's migration journeys, challenges, achievements and contributions across various sectors, including politics, culture, education, sport, healthcare, communication and entrepreneurship.
Through their personal accounts, the women share their experiences of building their lives in Luxembourg and contributing to the country's social, cultural, political and economic development.
The publication forms part of the association's mission to highlight women's experiences that often remain absent from traditional historical accounts and to recognise their contributions to Luxembourgish society.
Beyond presenting individual stories, Mir sinn op Lëtzebuerg komm aims to encourage intercultural and intergenerational dialogue and promote social cohesion.
The association intends the book to serve as an educational and awareness-raising resource for schools, cultural institutions, municipalities and other organisations, while inspiring younger generations.
According to Femmes Pionnières du Luxembourg, the project also seeks to encourage civic engagement and highlight the diversity of women's experiences and contributions to Luxembourg.
