The Pepper Pod

Purpose

Through this 33-month systemic change project, The Pepper Pod will advance women’s economic security, prosperity and representation in leadership and decision-making by addressing systemic barriers within the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans Affairs Canada and the greater military and veteran communities. Specifically, the project will apply years of past knowledge of women’s lived experiences to the development and national implementation of a participative session on gender awareness, sensitivity, and imperative systemic change. The project will include upstream conversations to impact the future culture of the Canadian military and veteran communities. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
