This initiative operates in Badalona, a city neighbouring Barcelona. It is run by migrant women, and initially promoted by Yolanda Akpoli (originally from Togo) who has had a close relationship with fashion and recycling since she was a child. Unió Segones Oportunitats is a space that has been operating for two years, where women collaborate together and specialize in collecting, repairing, reconditioning and selling second-hand clothes and other objects. There is a shop and two workshops (one for furniture and the other for clothes) where women are taught to sew, repair, create garments and print, as well as provide textile training – especially for women in precarious socio-economic situations-. Recycling allows for the creation of unique garments. They also provide clothing-mending services on demand and the women themselves teach others, allowing them to feel more capable and autonomous. Neighbours, organisations, foundations, etc. provide donations and Segones Oportunitats manages the recollection of these goods. In addition to offering clothes and objects at very low prices, sometimes they organise special sales (e.g. at 1 euro). They also participate in a radio show that aims to make the situation of women in the neighborhood visible. They promote several social initiatives at neighborhood level such as fairs, solidarity events, street markets, etc. and are closely linked to both institutional and citizen initiatives linked to the circular economy, entrepreneurship and empowerment. Address: Calle General Moragues 5 (08914), Badalona
