The AFFC did a study on the specific needs of francophone immigrant women, and we learned that they face tremendous challenges because of intersecting identity factors.
Women who immigrate here shoulder many burdens that women who are already settled may not, including intersecting identity factors and challenges specific to the immigration process. All of those needs are outlined in the AFFC's study.
It is our hope that the reality of francophone immigrant women will be viewed differently because they have very different needs.
