Conseil d'intervention pour l'accès des femmes au travail (CIAFT) du Québec inc.

Published purpose

Through this 19-month systemic change project, the Conseil d’intervention pour l’accès des femmes au travail du Québec Inc. will scale the project “Reducing systemic discrimination against women by promoting female-dominated trades” to advance women’s economic security and prosperity. They will scale the project by expanding its scope to all of Québec and by addressing a new women-dominated job sector. The project will address various issues: workplace harassment and violence, work-life balance problems, strained work relationships and poor union representation, and occupational health and safety. To do this, the project will promote a better understanding of the barriers that women experience in a targeted job sector, continue collaborations with current and future partners to make a meaningful difference in women’s working conditions, and broaden the scope of the recommendations for change through a visit to various key players.
