  • Exploring Feminist Government

    Exploring Feminist Government

    With governments increasingly promoting gender parity, confronting violence against women and supporting women in the workplace and in leadership positions, opportunities are emerging to build on these beginnings.

    Feminism in government can go beyond gender-based analysis to deploy a broader, intersectional approach that encourages and embraces inclusion and diversity. Join us to hear how the feminist government team from Canada Beyond 150 explored these issues.
