Published purpose

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Women in Business New Brunswick, operating under "The New Brunswick Association of CBDCs/L’Association des CBDC du Nouveau-Brunswick Inc.", will achieve this by identifying barriers to women’s leadership, by building collaborative and community-based approaches, by supporting the adoption of inclusive policies and practices and by measuring the effectiveness of their initiatives. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change and by supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power to support women’s equality. This project will bring together women, business stakeholders and leaders, along with the support from organizations and partners such as with Femmocracy Now, the New Brunswick Multicultural Council and First Nations, to share on best practices and GBA+ principles. This will be achieved through various women-led community-based approaches, as well as through the creation of a community of practice and a virtual collaborative platform. Women in Business New Brunswick will support their partners by facilitating meetings, training and workshops, by developing tools to improve women’s leadership and by guiding their partners towards the adoption of inclusive policies and practices.
