Engaging Women Newcomers in Social Cohesion Building and New Economy Creation

The proposed research project aims to explore and promote the involvement of women newcomers in building stronger communities and creating new economic opportunities. Specifically, the project will focus on supporting these women in becoming entrepreneurs and fostering social cohesion. By partnering with the YWCA, the project seeks to empower women newcomers, understand their unique challenges, and identify strategies to overcome barriers to their economic participation and social integration. The expected benefit to the YWCA and other organizations involved is the development of evidence-based recommendations, actionable strategies, and resources that can drive positive change and create inclusive environments where women newcomers can thrive, contribute to the local economy, and build meaningful connections within their communities.
