The Australian Immigrant & Refugee Women's Alliance (AIRWA)
AIRWA is a project of the Network of Immigrant & Refugee Women of Australia Inc (NIRWA).
Its focus is to lift the status of immigrant and refugee women through a unified and national front.
AIRWA is one of the six National Women's Alliances that is funded by the Federal Office for Women.
AIRWA's mandate is to raise immigrant and refugee women's concerns and aspirations to government.
Migrant Women in Precarious Employment
NIRWA obtained a Leadership and Development Grant to auspice a support project for migrant women in precarious employment on behalf of Asian Women at Work. The project highlights the issues migrant women face in the workplace, at home and in the community and provides information and training to assist them to raise their concerns at community and political levels.. The issue is now being incorporated into the AIRWA work plan.
