Published purpose
The Project Time for 5 will be addressing gender-based violence (GBV) and women’s economic security, which is aligned with the Recipient’s work and experiences in seeking gender equity for all women in Canada. The focus of this project will specifically be on GBV, economic security and emerging issues in rural, remote and northern communities (using WAGE’s contribution to the Project), along with advancing gender equality for girls and women throughout Canada (using other sources of funding). In addition to providing direct contribution funding, the project will also provide capacity building supports for community-based organizations and grassroots initiatives within these communities. Supplemental funding for the project will enable an expanded reach of the project to distribute additional funding to eligible organizations and to further support project activities.
