Settlement Counsellor, AWIC Community and Social Services
I want to thank all of you for this opportunity, and I commend you for taking the time to listen to our experiences here today.
What I want to stress is that on the economic security of immigrant women, you cannot just look at it from a financial or even an employment standpoint. There are many other factors to consider that factor into a woman's ability to sustain economic stability.
That said, I concur with my fellow speakers here, in that more research needs to be done, and any measures we can take to fund the research geared toward this needs to continue.
Maybe more outreach can be done, in terms of delivering information to these women in a way they can understand. Perhaps this is a sort of end-to-end type of service delivery that we offer at our organization.
