National Organization of Immigrant and Visible Minority Women of Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Organization of Immigrant and Visible Minority Women of Canada (NOIVMWC) was a Canadian non-profit women's organization that advocated for issues affecting immigrant and visible-minority women in Canada.[1][2][3][4]

Founded in 1986, NOIVMWC advocates for pay equity and the rights of refugees.[5][6][7][8]

In 2006, the organization undertook a project entitled "Creating Employment Opportunities for Immigrant Women," which held consultations with immigrant women and employers in metropolitan areas.[9]
