Jun 25, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026

Through this 21-month systemic change project, National Association of Women and the Law (NAWL) will scale the foundational work of their “Rebuilding Feminist Law Reform Capacity: Substantive Equality in the Law-Making Process” and "Adapting and Accelerating Intersectional Feminist Law Reform for a Post-COVID-19 Future" projects to advance women's economic security and prosperity as well as representation in leadership and decision-making roles in relation to law making and law reform. It will scale out NAWL's priority law reform areas with a new focus on championing legislative reforms related to women's economic prosperity and security, and ensuring that policies account for the unique challenges faced by low-income, racialized women, and those living with disabilities. It will scale the engagement of feminist and equity-seeking groups in legislative processes advocating for a more gendered and intersectional approach to socio-economic law-making. It will also scale the Chanterelle Alliance for Feminist Law Reform by enhancing its internal capacity to be more active, engaged, and coordinated in order to expand its membership in terms of geographic and intersectional reach, as well as its efforts, resources, and campaigns. Through these strategic efforts, NAWL will contribute to the development of gender-responsive socio-economic laws that are comprehensive, inclusive, and focused on achieving systemic change for all Canadian women across Canada.
