East Prince Women Information Committee

Purpose

Through this 32-month project, the East Prince Women's Information Committee (EPWIC) will help advance women's economic and leadership opportunities through systemic change. Specifically, the project will create systemic change in workplaces in the Greater Summerside area of PE. EPWIC will support employers in the creation or enhancement of sexual harassment and violence policies, including through training, education, and awareness building activities. The project will also support women who have experienced workplace sexual harassment by offering resources and guiding through processes. The project will benefit from the oversight of an advisory committee of relevant stakeholders, and throughout the course of the project, EPWIC will collect data on the number of women who have experienced violence, the businesses who have new or enhanced sexual harassment policies, and the impact of training and awareness sessions. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
