Established in 1984, ICWA is amongst the few organizations in Edmonton, Canada advocating for the protection of the rights of immigrant women, men, and youth alike. Through settlement assistance, skill-building community activities, and adult education we try to ensure that immigrants are able to feel at home in Canada. Our approach to preventing violence against women is by raising the status of women through dialogue and community mobilization. An attitude shift about the way women are portrayed and treated is essential and we believe small shifts in attitudes about women can create a large overall impact and raise the status of women in our communities. That is why we are proud to say, ICWA has been changing attitudes since 1984!
