Aug 19, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026

Description:

This 19-month project will support the efforts of women’s and equality seeking civil society organizations (CSOs) in Canada to prepare for, participate in and follow up on international events and processes to mark the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference of Women and the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA). To achieve this, CRIAW will ensure that an intersectional analysis is applied to the Beijing +30 review process to identify the progress being made, gaps and emerging challenges; identify what is required to accelerate the implementation of the BPfA, including for specific groups of women and girls in Canada that experience intersecting forms of discrimination; ensure that Canadian civil society participation in Beijing +30 reflects women and girls in all their diversity, and provides a space for the voices of Indigenous women and two-spirit people, women with disabilities, Black and racialized women, immigrant and migrant women, 2SLGBTQI women and non-binary folk, among others; liaise and communicate with the Canadian government regarding civil society recommendations, Beijing +30 activities and Canada’s progress in its implementation; and build capacity and share knowledge among CSOs to participate in policy and program analysis to advance women’s rights and gender equality in Canada in accordance with international and domestic obligations.
