Oxfam Canada

Purpose

This 27-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Oxfam Canada will achieve this by engaging underrepresented women, living in the Atlantic, Ontario, Prairies and Pacific regions, to inform and develop pandemic recovery responses that address intersectional barriers to early learning and childcare (ELCC) accessibility, affordability, quality and inclusiveness. Relationships will be built between equality-seeking organizations and other stakeholders to collaborate across sectors to advance underrepresented women's engagement in ELCC advocacy networks. Oxfam Canada will develop and disseminate advocacy tools within these networks and launch community-based public communication tools, resources and mobilization moments to effectively advance ELCC policy solutions that are inclusive of addressing the barriers of underrepresented women.
