Relais-femmes

Published purpose

Through this 32-month project, Relais-femmes will build its capacity to advance gender equality. It will address the needs of Black and racialized women and non-binary people conducting research. The project will include creating and implementing a two-year strategic plan that will serve as a roadmap for the development of a Black and racialized anti-oppressive and anti-racist organizational structure, launching a website to share resources, and a strategic planning process. With the supplemental funds and 12-month extension provided in early 2026, Relais-Femmes will establish, with the support of consultants, a process for the acceptance, mediation, and closure of collaborations and partnerships in non‑mixed spaces. It will also draft a policy on conflicts of interest within non‑mixed spaces and develop a structured conflict‑resolution strategy adapted to these spaces within a historically white organization. Through this, they will further advance gender equality.
