About Us

The Immigrant Women’s Alliance (IWA) is an organization founded to educate and empower women, especially immigrant women, in pursuing education and fulfilling their potential. By creating a safe space for sharing knowledge and experience, we seek to motivate women to embrace an optimistic outlook, overcome barriers and take advantage of new opportunities. We visit places such as women’s shelters, immigration centres, adult learning programs and ESL schools in order to reach out to women and encourage them to embrace the educational opportunities that are available in Canada
