“NO WOMAN LEFT BEHIND”

This innovative project, run by CLAM in collaboration with RIVO, aims to support immigrant women who have recently arrived in Quebec, often in highly vulnerable situations. Isolated, faced with language barriers, lack of information on the Quebec and Canadian systems, precarious living conditions or experiences of domestic violence, these women have little or no access to conventional employability programs. This project was designed to fill this gap, with an adapted, inclusive and reassuring approach that respects the pace and realities of each woman.

“I learned a lot about Canadian culture and they helped us enormously in the integration process.”
