Women's Economic Council

Published purpose

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Women’s Economic Council will achieve this by supporting the inclusion of women’s voices, particularly low-income women, women with disabilities, BIPOC, LGBTQ2+ and other marginalized and underrepresented groups in the planning for the economic recovery through local collaboration and in-person leadership. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, and supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power to support women’s equality.
