The Office of Diversity & Inclusion/African Nova Scotian Affairs Integration Office wants to engage with residents from diverse communities throughout the Halifax region. Share your voice to help inform a strategy to guide the municipality’s actions to reduce gender inequality for women, girls, and gender-diverse and non-binary residents.
What is the Women and Gender Equity Strategy?
The Women and Gender Equity Strategy (WGES) is a guiding document in alignment with the Diversity & Inclusion Framework that will help the municipality to advance gender equality in the region. It will provide guidance on reducing barriers to inclusive municipal services that may be created due to a person’s gender identity and expression and other parts of who they are, such as ability, race, age, immigration status, language, income and much more.
What's the next step?
The community engagement sessions for the Women and Gender Equity Strategy have been completed. A what we heard report will be compiled to summarize the feedback, suggestions, concerns and discussions shared during these sessions. This report helps capture key insights from the community and will inform the development of the initial draft of the strategy.
