Agreement Date:
Jul 29, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Through this 20-month project of systemic change, the Réseau des groupes de femmes Chaudière-Appalaches (RGFCA) will expand the “STOP à l’âgisme envers les femmes en Chaudière-Appalaches” project to advance women’s access to leadership and decision-making positions and enable women aged 65 and over to actively participate in the region’s socio-political activities. This expansion project will be used to implement the recommendations of the research-action report from the previous project. It will foster social inclusion of women aged 65 and over by increasing their presence on various boards and committees, and through social intergenerational initiatives. The project will help deconstruct the social representation of senior women and develop social structures that include all women, including senior women. To achieve this, the RGFCA will work with various partners to implement new practices.
