This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery to address the current impact of COVID-19, through systemic change. Réseau-Femmes Colombie-Britannique will achieve this by increasing awareness and engaging rural and urban community leaders, organizations representing underrepresented women, and other partners in the work of developing a citizen's charter, a strategy, and communication tools. This work will be shared at a provincial forum on community equity, and at francophone and anglophone community events, with government officials and institutions with a part to play in the inclusion of the voices of under-represented women.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by promoting inclusive policies and practices, expanding networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, changing persistently harmful norms and attitudes, and promoting a positive distribution of authority and decision -making power and voices in support of women’'s equality.

Réseau-Femmes Colombie-Britannique comprises 15 groups throughout British Columbia.
