We’ve partnered with the Multicultural Centre for Women’s Health and IndianCare to better understand the experiences of Arabic, Punjabi and Vietnamese women when it comes to contraception and women’s health care.
The research, which builds on insights from our 2024 National Women’s Health Survey, highlighted significant systemic barriers faced by women from migrant and refugee backgrounds, including complex health systems, language barriers and the high cost of services.

These findings reinforce the need for culturally appropriate, accessible health information and education that empowers all women to make informed decisions about their health.
