This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Canadian Women in Communications and Technology will achieve this by addressing discriminatory legislation, policies, and practices that prevent women from fully participating in the social, political and economic spheres, designing and implementing policies and practices to increase women’s labour market participation and opportunities, and by designing and implementing policies and practices to increase women’s leadership in democratic, civic, public or private sectors. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by increasing networks and collaborations to accelerate systemic change, and by supporting a positive distribution of authority, voices and decision-making power to support women’s equality.
