Women experience migration and settlement in different ways than men and often have unequal access to social resources that affect their health. They face challenges in areas including labour market integration, violence against women, language, social supports, housing and mental health.
We are looking to partner with you to deliver basic worker health and safety awareness sessions to newcomers. Using a train-the-trainer approach, we would equip you with the resources, skills and support necessary to deliver these sessions to your clients, at your location.
Refugee women sometimes experience intimate partner violence. Do you know how pre-migration and migration trauma can impact the safety of refugee women and their families? Do you know how to work collaboratively with violence against women experts in your community? Does your organization have policies and protocols in place to help you respond safely and effectively to situations of intimate partner violence?
We hope that you will accept our invitation to take advantage of this free training for yourself or your organization to help standardize your RAP workers' approach to aiding female refugee survivors of violence.
This 4-module course is developed to help front-line practitioners learn about how to better understand and meet the unique needs of women with precarious immigration status, who are facing gender-based violence.
