BPW & CCEW: IDEAS for Gender Equality - IDEAS4GE Project
(COVID-19 Feminist Response & Recovery)

The BPW/CCEW COVID-19 Feminist Response and Recovery Project is designed to leverage the heightened awareness and societal sensitivity to how gender and intersectional factors have disproportionately impacted Canadian women throughout the COVID-19 crisis.

It recognizes the importance of ensuring that the individual experiences and unique needs of all Canadian women in all their diversity are included in the post-COVID-19 recovery plans of key stakeholders. The project uses an intentional inclusive outreach and engagement strategy to build capacity for informed intersectional gender-based equality and solution-building by Canadian businesses, community organizations and government stakeholders.

Collaborative multi-stakeholder partnerships in action will address the systemic vulnerabilities and gender-based bias and inequities highlighted by the pandemic. Through the project’s IDEAS4GE Innovation Challenge, solution-builders will spark impactful IDEAS – for Inclusion, Diversity, Equality, Access, and Solutions in Canada’s workplace, marketplace and communities.
