United for equity!

In June 2018, the FIQ and FIQP delegates adopted the Policy on the Fair Representation of Women in Positions of Power and Decision-Making. They wanted to curb a trend observed in recent years: women’s decreasing participation at decision-making meetings (conventions, provincial councils, etc.) The policy includes support measures that work towards the 75% target for women’s attendance at meetings.

By way of this policy, the FIQ and FIQP (organizations that represent over 90% women) provide equal access to all levels of power and influence in the pursuit of democracy and social justice. The policy’s action plan will be presented to the delegation at the December 2018 Provincial Council.
