Established in 1982, Riverdale Immigrant Women’s Centre is a community-based registered charity with a mission to empower equity-deserving groups and create flourishing communities by mobilizing resources and supports at the local and systemic levels. 

Our programs are delivered from an anti-oppression and GBA+ (Gender Based Analysis) framework of practice to address how women, men, and gender diverse people experience policies, programs and new initiatives in our community.

To take into account the diverse needs of our community, we collaborate with an extensive network of community partner agencies, ranging from small community-based groups, local schools, and the private sector to all levels of government to address and bring about gender equality and equity.
