Empowering Immigrant Women in Canada

The Canadian Advisory of Women Immigrants is a youth-led initiative. We hope to inspire, support, and empower immigrant women and girls through our advocacy efforts.

Our Work

AT A GLANCE

Most of our projects are focused on creating social, mental, and sexual health support for folks identifying as Immigrant Women, as well as organizations serving Immigrant Women. Some of our projects include The CAWI Sexual Health Campaign, Borderlines of the Mind, The CAWI Pairing Program, and The CAWI Women Leaders Video Series.

“The difference between a broken community and a thriving one is the presence of women who are valued”

— Michelle Obama
