Summary
Through this 34-month systemic change project, Women’s Network PEI will scale “Paths to Prosperity” to advance women’s economic security and prosperity. It will scale to re-examine the gendered experiences of poverty in the province of Prince Edward Island (PEI) by investigating how Covid-19, inflation, and the recent affordability crisis has impacted women and people from marginalized communities in PEI. This project will address inequalities related to gender, workforce, and the economy and will explore the gendered experiences in poverty across the province. To do so, it will bring together feminist and social justice organizations for a conference to explore Gender and Basic Income Guarantee in PEI while also mobilizing stakeholders to form a National Coalition of Feminists for Basic Income Guarantee.
With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, Women’s Network Inc. will expand the National Feminist Coalition (NFC) to support a GBV-informed Basic Income Guarantee (BIG). The organization will engage in community consultations and training on the BIG Action-Oriented Toolkit for engaging private-sector partners. Support to NFC partners in setting up private sector Community Roundtables on the connection between BIG and GBV will take place as well as a Lobby Day in Ottawa focusing on the economy of healing. A media campaign and webinar series to share the beneficial impacts that a Basic Income Guarantee would have for GBV survivors and their families will take place. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de changement systémique de 34 mois, le Women’s Network PEI amplifiera « Les chemins vers la prospérité » pour faire progresser la sécurité économique et la prospérité des femmes. Le projet sera amplifié pour revoir les expériences sexospécifiques des gens qui connaissent la pauvreté dans la province de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard (Î.-P.-É.) en étudiant les répercussions de la COVID-19, de l’inflation et de la récente crise d’abordabilité sur les femmes et les personnes issues de communautés marginalisées de l’Î.-P.-É. Ce projet traitera de l’inégalité de genre, de la main-d’œuvre et de l’économie et explorera les expériences sexospécifiques de pauvreté à l’échelle de la province. Pour ce faire, le projet réunira des organismes féministes et de justice sociale dans le cadre d’une conférence visant à explorer le genre et le revenu de base garanti à l’Î.-P.-É., tout en mobilisant les parties prenantes pour former la coalition d’un mouvement féministe national pour le revenu de base garanti.
Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, Women’s Network Inc. élargira la Coalition féministe nationale (CFN) afin de soutenir un revenu de base garanti (RBG) tenant compte de la VFS. L’organisme mènera des consultations communautaires et offrira des formations sur la trousse d’outils axée sur l’action pour un RBG afin de mobiliser les partenaires du secteur privé. Un soutien sera apporté aux partenaires de la CFN pour la mise en place de tables rondes communautaires avec le secteur privé sur le lien entre le RBG et la VFS, ainsi qu’une journée de lobbying à Ottawa axée sur l’économie de la guérison. Une campagne médiatique et une série de webinaires seront organisées pour faire connaître les retombées positives d’un revenu de base garanti pour les survivantes de la VFS et leurs familles. Grâce à ces initiatives, l’organisme contribuera à faire progresser l’égalité des genres.
