| Organizational Description: | Latinas Manitoba INC. is a non-profit organization incorporated in the year 2021.

Its goal is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and provide support in the process of cultural and migratory adaptation.

MISSION: To assist Latina women and other genders by providing them with guidance and support to achieve their aspirations for academic, social, and economic progress. This is accomplished through support programs including seminars, talks, and workshops, aimed at informing and educating in social, cultural, employment, and linguistic aspects. It allows them to express their concerns and resolve them through active community participation. VISION: A united community where every Latina shines, reaching her full potential in a supportive, diverse, and resilient environment. Values: Empowerment, Community, Diversity, Resilience, Collaboration Objectives: 1. Latinas Manitoba provides support to women victims of gender and family violence, guiding them and connecting them with the necessary resources to move forward. 2.
