Administrative history

Women Working with Immigrant Women (WWIW) was established in 1974, incorporated in 1985, with the goal of organizing workshops and sharing information to understand the problems and needs of Canada's growing immigrant population. WWIW sponsored workshops, courses, events, and programs, produced information kits, published books and articles, and produced a film. WWIW has also worked with other organizations to lobby the government for rights of immigrant women and women of colour, and to spread awareness about the issues encountered by immigrant communities in Canada.

In 1983, WWIW joined forces with the Coalition of Visible Minority Women to form the Ontario Immigrant and Visible Minority Women's Network. WWIW was also affiliated with the National Action Committee on the Status of Women and the National Organization of Immigrant and Visible Minority Women. In the 1990s, funding cuts caused WWIW to lose its core membership. By 1995, due to federal and provincial cutbacks, WWIW had lost so much of its funding that it could no longer support its staff. Although WWIW is no longer as active, it remains present in the Canadian women's movement, and was last seen in 2015 protesting discrimination against women wearing niqab.

L'association Women Working with Immigrant Women (WWIW) a été créée en 1974 et constituée en société en 1985, dans le but d'organiser des ateliers et de partager des informations afin de comprendre les problèmes et les besoins de la population immigrée croissante du Canada. WWIW a parrainé des ateliers, des cours, des événements et des programmes, produit des kits d'information, publié des livres et des articles, et produit un film. WWIW a également travaillé avec d'autres organisations pour faire pression sur le gouvernement en faveur des droits des femmes immigrées et des femmes de couleur, et pour faire connaître les problèmes rencontrés par les communautés immigrées au Canada.

En 1983, WWIW a uni ses forces à celles de la Coalition of Visible Minority Women pour former l'Ontario Immigrant and Visible Minority Women's Network (Réseau des femmes immigrantes et des minorités visibles de l'Ontario). WWIW est également affilié au Comité national d'action sur le statut de la femme et à l'Organisation nationale des femmes immigrantes et des femmes appartenant à une minorité visible. Dans les années 1990, les coupes budgétaires ont fait perdre à WWIW son noyau de membres. En 1995, en raison des coupes budgétaires fédérales et provinciales, WWIW a perdu une si grande partie de son financement qu'il n'est plus en mesure de subvenir aux besoins de son personnel. Bien que WWIW ne soit plus aussi actif, il reste présent dans le mouvement des femmes canadiennes et a été vu pour la dernière fois en 2015 en train de protester contre la discrimination à l'égard des femmes portant le niqab.
