About this service
Newcomer women were at the center of this work and applied the critical lens of lived-experience through which the findings were filtered, analyzed and presented. Newcomer women were engaged as peer researchers, participating in skill-development and capacity-building training sessions, and then conducting community-based research to inform the development of strategies supporting newcomer womens economic self-sufficiency and successful labour market participation. YWCA formed a key partnership with Dr. Delores Mullings and together, coordinated with government, community, and industry partners to host Opportunity Knocks, a symposium focused on multicultural women in leadership. The event, held in March 2019, sought to identify ways to support and encourage women from diverse cultural backgrounds to make long-term attachments to employment in their communities by identifying the barriers and challenges faced in gaining economic self-sufficiency.
