Immigration policy does not recognize the spectrum of violence against women

The Migrant Mothers Project at Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work in partnership with the Woman Abuse Council of Toronto (WomanACT) hosted over 120 people to take part in a day long event titled, "Intersections of Violence Against Women and Precarious Immigration Status—A National Symposium for Advocacy and Community Mobilization". This Symposium was a full-day event held at the University of Toronto to engage with an active network of service providers, activists, policy analysts, researchers and immigrant women in Canada. Panels and workshops focused on advocacy and community engagement strategies for/with immigrant women with precarious status on a range of cross-cutting issues.Presented at the National Symposium on Intersections of Violence against Women and Precarious Immigration Statu
