Against the backdrop of Women’s History Month - and in the face of attacks on both gender and migrant justice - GCIR invites you to learn how philanthropy can support the economic empowerment of immigrant women.

Immigrant women comprise 7 percent of the total population and nearly 8 percent of the workforce. They are disproportionately represented in service occupations and more likely to live in poverty than U.S.-born women. Bringing in leaders who work at the intersections of these identities, this webinar will provide an overview of the most pressing challenges faced by low-paid immigrant women as well as the diverse strategies groups are employing to address them.

As we focus on economic empowerment, we will explore how on the ways philanthropy can support the immediate needs of these communities while building long-term worker power that transcends migrant status and gender identity.

We invite funders to come ready to contribute their ideas on this important and timely topic.
