Supporting Afghan Women and Families in Canada

Who We Are

Community Needs

Many Afghan newcomer families face barriers that affect safety, well-being, and full participation in Canadian society.

System Navigation

Support is often needed to navigate health care, schools, courts, police, and social services.

Language Barriers

Limited access to services and information because of language differences.

Legal Awareness

Many families need more information about family law, child protection, and women’s rights.

Women and seniors may experience isolation and limited access to technology and community support.

Social Isolation

Mental Health & Well-being

Awareness workshops, psychoeducation, and referrals to culturally sensitive mental health and support services.

Education Rights Awareness

Workshops and community sessions on women’s rights, family law, child protection, and access to information.

Resettlement, Employment & Economic Inclusion

Support with employment readiness, referrals, skills development, and economic participation.

System Navigation & Language Support

Language-based support and guidance for schools, hospitals, courts, police, and social services.

Our work focuses on practical, culturally responsive support that helps women and families build safety, confidence, and opportunity.
