Réseau des Tables régionales de groupes de femmes du Québec

Published purpose

This 57-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the organization to continue promoting social and systemic changes towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the following activities: human resources management, partnership development, collaboration and networking, and development of a claims strategy. Also, the objectives of the project aim to strengthen the women's movement in Quebec and, more specifically, that of the Réseau des tables régionales (network of regional tables), in order to work together to improve the living conditions of women (economic security, battle against violence, and citizen participation for women). The Network will work to strengthen its structures, specify its bases for common action and develop mechanisms that would make it possible to both meet women's needs and respect regional differences. The 12-month extension and supplementary funding will be used to develop a strategic plan, establish a basis of unity on women’s health, and formulate a women’s health policy strategy. A community of practice on regional collaborative and cooperative projects focused on women’s health and wellbeing will be established. Through this community of practice, organization members will be able to jointly acquire the tools to carry out regional projects aimed at strengthening connections between the healthcare and community networks.
