Description:
Through this 12-month systemic change project, York Region Women's Foundation will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers faced by marginalized and racialized women by increasing the participation of, and opportunities for, diverse women in the labour market. The project will engage an advisory board with lived experience to lead a GBA+ assessment of systemic barriers within workplaces through surveys and focused dialogue. They will then develop a toolkit (including resources for employers, policy templates, etc.) to address inequities. The toolkit will be promoted to employers, who will be asked to commit to its implementation. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
