The Position Paper is a comprehensive document that reflects NIWF's ongoing advocacy for the rights and welfare of Indigenous women who have returned from working abroad.

NIWF has consistently championed the cause of these women, recognizing the significant contributions they make to their families and communities. The forum's efforts are aimed at creating a supportive environment where returning Indigenous women can thrive, leveraging their skills and experiences gained abroad to build a better future for themselves and their families. Through their advocacy and initiatives, NIWF strives to ensure that these women are not only reintegrated into society but also provided with the opportunities to lead fulfilling and independent lives.
