Through this 32-month project, Informed Perspectives aims to expand their Amplifying Women’s Voices in Media and Creating Parity in Politics initiative. The project will increase the representation of women and gender-diverse individuals in media and political leadership roles. Key goals include integrating 800 new sources from underrepresented fields and identities into their database, and gaining 400 new journalist subscribers. They plan to enhance database functionality, identify and fill knowledge gaps, and improve user experience to engage more journalists. Additionally, the project will involve influential figures in politics to broaden engagement and insight, while training 25 young women and gender-diverse individuals in research and messaging to reach new audiences effectively. The supplemental funding, and project extension provided in early 2026, will build on existing work to document public support for gender-balanced political representation, increase media and thought leadership on the issue, and engage policymakers on potential systemic reforms. It will do so through supporting the development of a legal framework for achieving gender parity in Canada’s Parliament and expand partnerships and advocacy efforts to build momentum for systemic change in women’s political representation. Through this, they will further advance Gender Equality.
