Agreement Date:

Sep 13, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

This 31-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Women’s Network PEI will achieve this by enhancing collaboration across women’s and feminist organizations in Prince Edward Island on issues related to gender equality. The organization will create a Feminist Activism Committee to identify priority and emergent needs to be addressed collectively, will create an Action Plan that will guide the work of the committee, and will sustain partnerships with stakeholders and decision makers to initiate calls to action. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, and by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women’s equality. Partners involved in the committee are well known to the organization and represent a variety of groups in Prince Edward Island. This project will bring together self-identified women leaders in nonprofit organizations to work collaboratively to enhance their ability to advocate for systemic change regarding policies and procedures that impact them. Women’s Network PEI will aim to maintain the Feminist Activism Committee beyond the length of the project and build up membership for maximal impact.
