Description:
Through this 29-month project, the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec will help advance women’s access to leadership and decision-making roles through systemic change. More specifically, the project will address systemic barriers to women’s representation in positions of power within the labour movement and in the workplace. It will do this by creating an assessment tool and recommendations for workplaces as well as a best practices guide for unions on equity, diversity, and inclusion, and by developing experiential training for unions to create more agents of change and provide unions tools for their negotiations. An external evaluation will measure and assess the impact of this systemic change project.
