Building a Childcare System that Works for Immigrant and Refugee Women

Building a Childcare System that Works for Immigrant and Refugee Women Project

The Building a Childcare System that Works for Immigrant and Refugee Women project is a 2.5-year PIRS initiative funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada. It supports a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change in the childcare sector.

PIRS aims to:

  • develop and implement community-based approaches to address intersectional barriers to equality for diverse women
  • engage women and/or girls with lived experience to influence pandemic recovery responses
  • convene and strengthen the feminist movement to collaboratively advance gender equality
  • build relationships between equality seeking organizations and other stakeholders to collaborate across sectors to advance gender equality

At the heart of the Building a Childcare System that Works for Immigrant and Refugee Women project is the Childcare Leadership Group, a community of practice that drives the work. Learn more and register for the Childcare Leadership Group (CLG).
