When there was funding to do research, we received funding from the Status of Women Canada, both at the federal and regional levels.
We also collaborate with academics such as University of British Columbia Professor Geraldine Pratt. We have also worked with Habiba Zaman, who has looked at the economic security of Filipino women. We have just concluded one collaborative research. She came out with a book a few months ago entitled Breaking the Iron Wall. It's about immigrant women from the Philippines and from South Asian communities.
These are two areas where we can have more credible research by collaborating with the academics, and also other research institutions such as the Centre for Policy Alternatives in British Columbia. So this is what we have been doing.
As a community, we also continue to do research on our own. We organize our youth to do the community-based research. It is an important method for us to know what is happening in our community and to connect the issues so we can empower the community.
