Women Transforming Cities Information

Women Transforming Cities is a nonprofit organization based in Vancouver, Canada that works to educate, promote awareness and take action on issues such as affordable housing, violence against women, leadership, electoral reform, aboriginal women’s priorities, and the environment. We examine the impact different public policies will have on women and girls using an equity / intersectional lens that includes sex, race, gender, and income. We advocate for collecting and using gender-disaggregated data so that policies, programs, budgets, funding, staffing, and governance are developed to reflect our diverse realities. We want equity-deserving genders to be engaged as decision-makers, as elected officials, workers, planners, mothers and informed citizens to transform our cities to be more equitable and democratic for all.
