About WEC

Who are we?

WEC was formed in 2002 when several women and women’s organizations noticed barriers to the full participation of women in the growing CED movement.

To improve women’s economic security we also need to consider the many shifting social factors of the Canadian economy

The Women’s Economic Council is the only national organization advocating for women-centred CED in Canada, and we’re the only organization that supports networks of like-minded organizations that help women-centred CED flourish across the country.

Our Values

Women-centredness

We operate from a perspective of women’s lived realities and use gender-based impact analysis as a way to ensure that our work addresses what women actually experience.

Diversity and Inclusiveness

We believe that working for all women means respecting women’s diverse lived realities and valuing the unique contributions each individual woman brings to our work.

Community

We support a grassroots, community-based approach to community economic development.

Courage

We have the courage to make systemic change for women’s lives and work.

Advocacy

We believe that to truly change women’s lives for the better we must operate at two levels: by directly supporting women and by working to change public policies that disadvantage women and prevent equality.

Sustainability

We believe in the sustainable livelihoods model that builds on individual, organizational and community assets for social and economic change.

Transparency and Accountability

We are open and follow through on commitments we make to women, to communities and to funders.

Respect

We respect and recognize the experience and expertise that women and women’s organizations bring to their CED work and to their communities.
