This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change. West Coast LEAF will achieve this by researching, monitoring, and assessing the relevant governing laws, policies and actions of the Province of British Columbia, compiling and sharing the findings, building a tool for ongoing monitoring, assessment and community engagement, and by mobilizing the community and stakeholders to carry out the resulting calls to action. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
