Towards Safety and Justice (Virtual Session)

​Legal and Service Pathways for Immigrant and Migrant Women Experiencing Gender-Based Violence

​Join the Immigrant Migrant Women's Association of Halifax (IMWAH) for a free online learning session focused on strengthening how we support immigrant and migrant women experiencing gender-based violence.

​This virtual session brings together legal information, practical knowledge, and service-provider perspectives to help participants better understand the challenges immigrant and migrant women may face when seeking safety, legal assistance, and community support.

​The session will feature a legal information workshop led by Legal Info Nova Scotia, followed by a panel discussion and opportunities for participants to ask questions.

​Together, we will explore:

• ​How immigration status can shape gender-based violence risks and access to support

• ​Legal rights and service pathways available to women with different immigration statuses

• ​Practical referral pathways across legal, GBV, immigrant-serving, and community-service sectors

• ​Systemic barriers and ways to provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and holistic support

​Who should attend?

​This session is open to service providers, advocates, researchers, students, and professionals across sectors who want to strengthen their knowledge and ability to support immigrant and migrant women.
