The National Organization of Immigrant and Visible Minority Women of Canada (NOIVMWC) is an umbrella national organization with a vision of creating equality for all women. It was created in 1986 with a focus on forming a united national voice to ensure equality for immigrant and visible minority women within bilingual Canada. NOIVMWC advocates for various issues affecting immigrant and visible minority women. We have made significant progress on many fronts and our activities are becoming more important, considering the increasing diversity of the Canadian population. 1, record 1, English, - National%20Organization%20of%20Immigrant%20and%20Visible%20Minority%20Women%20of%20Canada
