Nov 15, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Trucking Human Resources Canada will achieve this by promoting mechanisms for sector-focused systemic change across Canada. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to identifying and addressing systemic barriers to gender equality within the Canadian truck transportation sector and drive change from within. The project will identify factors shaping low rates of recruitment and retention of women; identify and disseminate research-based policies and practices that advance inclusive and gender-diverse work environments; develop employer tools and resources designed to reduce or eliminate systemic and gender-specific barriers; facilitate the development of networks; and work to dismantle harmful gender norms and attitudes by increasing awareness of women's roles in the industry.
