Association for the Alberta Network of Immigrant Women

Published purpose

This 27-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Association for the Alberta Network of Immigrant Women will achieve this by conducting focus groups with immigrant women and recruitment agencies from across Alberta to assess the role of recruitment agency practices on the economic security of immigrant women; researching and evaluating best practices for diversity and inclusion policies; and convening a stakeholder summit to highlight initiatives for enhancing employment opportunities for immigrant women. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change and advancing inclusive policies and practices to support women’s equality.
