AMSSATalk – Supporting Newcomer Women Through the Shifting World Post COVID 19 Pandemic
The AMSSATalk “Supporting newcomer women through the shifting world post COVID-19 Pandemic” was held on March 6, 2023, at the AMSSA office in acknowledgement of the ongoing global resistance for women’s rights and in celebration of the 2023 International women’s day. The AMSSATalk hosted a panel of expert speakers who reflect on how the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the gender inequalities and their adverse impact on newcomer women, specifically those who settled in Canada within the past five years. The theme of the AMSSATalk was to capture women’s resistance in various forms as response to the changes and inequalities manifested by the COVID-19 pandemic.
