Since 1986, ANIW projects have been impact-oriented and directed towards empowering immigrant women to overcome the institutional and societal challenges of settling in Alberta, including mitigating the adverse effects of discrimination and racism within our workplaces and community. These attitudes manifest in the lack of employment, advancement and training opportunities, inadequate access to existing leadership skills and a scarcity of programs and resources to develop new leadership and managerial skills acceptable for the Canadian environment. As a result, immigrant women, in particular, are vulnerable to economic insecurity and lack of recognition of foreign credentials and face severe difficulties finding suitable jobs for which they had been educated, trained, and practised in their home countries. Over the years, ANIW has successfully championed economic security for immigrant women through developing critical channels for professional success, such as those for foreign-trained doctors and, currently, dentists. ANIW has also continued to contribute to the economic security of immigrants through our leadership program aimed at harnessing existing skills and talent while developing critical analytical and life skills needed to succeed in Canada's workplace.
