Bridging Gaps and Building A Picture for Change

Get Familiar with our Policies Matter Project

March 20, 2014

Ready to finally access, navigate and explore WomanACTs newest and most innovative web based tool? No better time than today! Hopefully by now you are familiar with the Policies Matter Project, a collaborative research and examination initiative undertaken by WomanACT, the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic and Elizabeth Fry Toronto.

After three years of collecting, summarizing and analyzing federal, provincial and municipal legislation and policy through a gender-based lens, we are pleased to present to you the product of these efforts the Blueprint For Action. This site is intended to share project findings, enhance communication and collaborative action among VAW allies in Toronto and support other organizations to carry out gender informed policy work.

The Blueprint For Action database is accessible to all those interested (no username or password required) and will be available through our website here:

For more background on this project and the Policies Matters Community Forum held on March 7th please refer to the links below from our End VAW Week Blog:
