To build up better awareness-raising about diversity over the lifespan. 2. To pursue and integrate greater knowledge and reflection about diversity over the lifespan, to promote and support prevention & mental health promotion, and to avoid stigmatization [3]. 3. To involve more national and international agencies, institutions, organizations and associations, for example with petitions, statements, programs and applications. 4. Clear outcomes and action points for challenges Nos. 1-3 should be documented [45]. • Knowledge and understanding about diversity during the lifespan has to be implemented in education, public education, higher education and training [10].

Although immigrant women bear a disproportionate burden of chronic disease and mental health issues, limited research addresses how to promote their mental wellbeing. The authors first describe grounded theory findings from community-based focus group research with 57 racialized immigrant women in Toronto, Canada that used a critical gender and intersectional lens to explore the links among settlement, wellbeing, and activism. Secondly, a community mobilization strategy is described whereby racialized immigrant women discuss activism as a feature of wellbeing in various language communities while creating meaningful health promotion resources. Implications for creating activism-based initiatives to promote women's wellbeing are discussed.
