Réseau d’action pour l’égalité des femmes immigrées et racisées du Québec

Published purpose

Through this 30-month project, the Réseau d’action pour l’égalité des femmes immigrées et racisées du Québec will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. More specifically, the project will address systemic barriers facing immigrant women workers due to foreign credentials not being recognized, including some processes for recognizing prior learning and acquired competencies that lead to professional deskilling. To achieve this, the project will engage immigrant women in identifying needs and solutions; propose strategies designed with the relevant bodies to promote progress on the recognition of prior learning and acquired competencies; consolidate efforts through a forum for coordination; and deploy an awareness strategy, including a training guide, to promote the identified ways of fostering socio-professional inclusion for immigrant women. An external evaluation will measure and assess the impact of this systemic change project.
