[...] In addition, the partnership building component of the project includes the creation of a Provincial Advisory Committee comprised of immigrant women who represent the demographic and geographic diversity of the immigrant communities across New Brunswick. [...] Finally, all project activities also includes the participation of immigrant and newcomer women and other women community leaders as well as the engagement and collaboration of service providers from the violence prevention field, from the immigrant and multiculturalism field, and from the women’s empowerment and community development fields. [...] Efforts in the domain of settlement and retention services must include responding to the needs of immigrant women for safety and well-being as they play a key role in the integration of immigrant families in society.
