We believe that women’s economic justice is critical to breaking the cycle of poverty and economic inequality. Our goal is to create opportunities for women to succeed regardless of sex, race, age, disability, color, creed, national origin, religion, or genetic information. Our main principles of economic justice policy include universal basic income, income equality by gender and race, and equal opportunity for employment and credit.
Our policy influencing approach is informed by lived experiences of survivors, particularly in the Black, People of Color, Indigenous, immigrants, senior citizens, newcomers communities as well as evidence-based practices which form an essential resource to inform and develop better policies and recommendations.
We collaborate with with coalitions of women’s community organizations, financial institutions, Credit unions, banks, utility companies, essential service providers, telecommunication companies, industry regulators, ombudsman services, local and national governments, the criminal justice system (police, prosecutors, and the judiciary system), the family justice system, consumer lawyers as well as researchers and academics to influence government and industry responses to the financial impact of domestic and family violence.
In 2023, CCFWE conducted the fist National Provincial Territorial Policy Score Map and beyond that contributed to economic justice and security. We’ve identified key areas that can enhance economic justice policy and women economic security efforts across the Province. Learn more here.
We apply a holistic, community approach to influence government and industry responses to the financial impact of domestic and family violence.
We are committed to developing a robust network of change with various stakeholders including policymakers, organizations, institutions, social services, and professionals from the financial, legal, telecommunication, and energy sectors, committed to ending Gender-Based Violence.
