Migrant self-organisations (MSOs) help both new immigrants and migrants who have been living in Germany for some time to integrate. They form a social network for the migrants. MSOs inform, guide, advise, support and serve as a representation of interests vis-à-vis the majority society.
Further information can be found in the research study Migrant women's organisations in Germany of the BMFSFj and the policy brief "What are migrant (self-)organisations" of the Federal Agency for Civic Education.
