CAWI'S PARTNERS AND FUNDERS
Women from across the city
None of this would be possible if not for the contribution of individual women who have given of their time, insights and courage to contribute to a women- friendly city that respects diversity.
“When I dare to be powerful – to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” Audre Lorde
When we dare to speak out on our concerns. We dare to be powerful.
Our work is possible thanks to those who contribute funds, resources, time and skills.
Funders and contributors:
Since 2006, CAWI has been sponsored by Lowertown Community Resource Centre as a charitable, non-profit, incorporated organization that shares a commitment to creating healthy and equitable communities.
Community Partners
Community partners are organizations with whom we have worked to promote gender equality and inclusion for the diversity of women in the City of Ottawa. In some cases, women from these organizations have participated in our Civic Participation Training, while in other cases we have worked together to promote inclusive practices and to bring the concerns of women from diverse communities to city decision making. With some we are currently working together; while with others we welcome the opportunity to work again toward our shared goals.
