Canada to Tackle Gender-Based Discrimination Faced by Newcomer Women

The Canadian government sets up the stage for 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence to improve women’s conditions through tactful planning and investment in their economic growth. As a part of this initiative, Lena Metlege Diab, a Member of Parliament, has recently declared the plan to renew $5.8 million of investment by 2025 that will be utilized for the projects of women’s employment. These projects are supported by the Racialized Newcomer Women Pilot which aims at helping racialized newcomer women land secured jobs in the country for better financial independence.
