Timmins & Area Women in Crisis

Published purpose

Through this 30-month project, Timmins & Area Women in Crisis will help advance women's economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers that women, including those who identify as members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, face in securing meaningful employment in male-dominated fields of non-profit leadership, the natural resource sector and the skilled trades. The project will include the completion of a regional needs assessment, the development of tools to address barriers to meaningful employment for women, and advocacy engagement with employers and institutions within the male-dominated sectors. The project will also include the development of a plan for an Empowerment Hub to provide a safe place to support activities that will lead to systemic change for women. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
