This was such a needed conversation. Thank you @iamIqraKhalid @heyitsseher @rubylatif @habondali @SalmaZahid15 and everyone for tuning in to listen to these inspiring leaders and their experiences. It’s a long way but we are getting through because of these #Womeninpolicy.

As a refugee, your skills & expertise can often get overlooked by employers. Through our RTH program, we work equally with refugees & employers to create meaningful employment opportunities

“There is a lot of awareness around housing but we need to call out that we don’t live in housing ... “We live in homes, regardless whether we own it or rent it. That’s an important element that cannot be forgotten.”

While online shopping and curbside pickups are available, Bayan Khatib said the newcomers they serve do not have credit cards and can’t do any of the online purchase even if they have access to the internet. /5 thestar.com/news/canada/2021…

With thrifty stores closed and home essential aisles blocked under Ontario’s current COVID-19 lockdown, some refugees and other newcomers struggle to get the basics to settle in their new homes. thestar.com/news/canada/2021…

#Ontario's new public health measures will fail if they exclude workplace protections and #PaidSickLeave.
As @DrKaliBarrett says "the people who are getting sick from #COVID19 are the people who have no choice but to leave their house and expose themselves to the virus at work".
Syrian Canadian Foundation retweeted
#Ontario's new measures are a failure:
-Enhanced enforcement—rather than support—will disproportionately impact vulnerable populations
-No #PaidSickLeave
-Banning outdoor activities including closing playgrounds
-Reallocating 25% rather than 50% of vaccines to #COVID19 hotspots
