WOMEN’S INITIATIVE EDMONTON IS A MUCH NEEDED DRIVE FOR WOMEN'S EQUALITY IN OUR CITY.
It is a chance for women and girls to be heard, for diverse perspectives to be embraced, and for a gender lens to be applied to today’s decisions that impact all of our tomorrows.
It is the rallying call for Edmontonians to make our city more open, inclusive, safe, and rich in opportunities for all.
The time is now, the place is here. The work is ours.
Help us spread the word.
Join us in our discussion of gender issues. Divergent opinions are welcome, but please be aware of our comments policy when posting.
Black History Month
In the pursuit of equity, women – especially women of colour – are still vastly under-represented in positions of leadership. In honour of Black History Month, we take a dive into some of the unconscious biases that maintain this inequity, and look at some things we can all do about it.
