TechGirls Canada (TGC) Inc.

Published purpose

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. TechGirls Canada will achieve this by designing and implementing policies and practices to increase women’s labour market participation and opportunities, engaging women and/or girls with lived experience to influence pandemic recovery responses, and building relationships between equality seeking organizations and other stakeholders to collaborate across sectors to advance gender equality. TechGirls will also design and implement policies and practices to increase women’s leadership in democratic, civic, public or private sectors. 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, and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women’s equality.
