Women Refugees Advocacy Project

Request for your feedback

The goal of the Women Refugees Advocacy Project (WRAP) in 2019 is to convince the federal government to actually provide comprehensive trauma care to the Yazidi female survivors of ISIS who are refugees in Canada. Our Yazidi trauma care petition was tabled by MP Jenny Kwan in Parliament on October 29, 2018 in Ottawa. We are now considering activities that will further raise awareness and increase the chance of a positive outcome when the petition is brought to government for a vote.

Please help us formulate and prioritize strategies to increase the possibility of government action on behalf of the survivors.
