Refugee Women's NetworK

Joing the ESL class at Refugee Women's Network does not only help break the barriers refugee women face but it opens doors to new opportunities.
Who We Are
At the core of Refugee Women’s Network is the belief that education is transformative. Language proficiency, digital literacy, financial knowledge, and community connection are essential foundations for successful settlement and long-term well-being.
Our programs are designed to reduce isolation, build confidence, and strengthen community belonging. We create safe and supportive environments where women can learn, connect, share experiences, and access critical resources. Many of the women we serve have experienced displacement, trauma, family separation, or violence. Through culturally responsive programming and individualized support, we help women navigate complex systems, understand their rights, and access services that promote safety, stability, and opportunity.
We are committed to walking alongside women throughout their settlement journey, ensuring they have access to the support, education, and resources necessary to achieve their goals and build fulfilling lives in Canada.

About Us
Founded in 2016, Refugee Women’s Network (RWN) is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to empowering refugee and newcomer women through education, advocacy, and culturally responsive support services. We recognize that refugee women face unique challenges during the settlement process, including language barriers, social isolation, limited access to employment opportunities, and experiences of trauma and gender-based violence.
Through education, community connection, and capacity-building programs, Refugee Women’s Network helps women develop the skills, confidence, and knowledge necessary to successfully integrate into Canadian society while maintaining and celebrating their cultural identities. Our programs foster independence, self-sufficiency, and leadership, enabling women to contribute meaningfully to their families, communities, and Canada’s social and economic development.
