We educate, promote awareness and take action on issues such as affordable housing, violence against women, leadership, electoral reform, aboriginal women’s priorities, and the environment. We examine the impact different public policies will have on women and girls using an equity / intersectional lens that includes sex, race, gender, and income. We advocate for collecting and using gender-disaggregated data so that policies, programs, budgets, funding, staffing, and governance are developed to reflect our diverse realities. We want women and girls to be engaged as decision-makers, as elected officials, workers, planners, mothers and informed citizens to transform our cities to be more equitable and democratic for all.

We ask: what changes can cities make to improve the lives of women and girls?
