Our Logo Story:<\/strong> The IMA logo best describes the roots of IMA. The image is that of our founding members who in 1973 got together under the guidance of Reminder Dosanjh and Harjit Dhillon to create IMA as an effort to address issues typically faced by South Asian descent women. Their belief that women themselves can be the strongest support for other women has been a founding tenet behind IMA and enabled it to service BC communities for the past 50 years. They embodied the core belief of IMA of creating a “family” for the women who needed support and help to have a safe haven to confide and reach out.<\/p>\n These founding members are depicted in the logo from the left Ms. Premchit Siripawa, Ms. Harjit Dhillon, Ms. Raminder Dosanjh, Ms. Roda Pavri and Ms. Baljinder Siddo<\/strong>. Their contributions and vision guide IMA till date.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”][vc_empty_space height=”35px”]\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12″] To advocate for women\u2019s rights and promote gender equality by providing a platform for South Asian women to connect, educate, and empower women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our Vision:<\/strong><\/p>\n A future where every woman experiences a life free from discrimination and violence, empowered with the knowledge, skills and resources to fulfill her potential.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”]\n\t<\/span>Our Mission & Vision<\/h3>[vc_empty_space height=”35px”][vc_column_text]Our Mission:<\/strong><\/p>\n
