Current Projects

Join us to create awareness about Violence Against Women (VAW) in refugee and immigrant communities and to destigmatize discourse around it. “Men Like Me” highlights the critical and positive role men within refugee and immigrant communities can play to prevent VAW.

​

We have partnered with White Ribbon Canada for this campaign and they have great resources for men to access and use. Please support the campaign by sharing the “Men Like Me” video on your networks and through your social media channels. We encourage that you use the hashtag #MenLikeMe in your posts. And do tag us: Facebook @MothersMatterCentre, Instagram @mothersmattercentre, Twitter @MothersMatterC.

​

The campaign is supported by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and Women and Gender Equality (WAGE).

Violence Against Women

Violence Against Women aims to build staff capacity, ensure connection to services for isolated and vulnerable women, and raise awareness to prevent, identify, and direct abuse.

The Women’s Insight Project (WIP) works with isolated, vulnerable, and low-income women in indigenous, newcomer, and racialized communities to empower them through building their capacity and confidence to lead changes at community level.

The project will enable women to identify SDG gaps in their communities through a participatory action approach and to design and implement community led solutions to address problems identified.

WIP builds on intensive community involvement and bottom-up approaches to ensure no one is left behind – and that isolated women are able to break their isolation and transform into leaders that drive change within their communities.

Women's Insight Project

The Women’s Insight Project is a new addition to the innovation portfolio of the Mothers Matter Centre.
