Women's Centres Connect unites the nine community-based women's centres in Nova Scotia.

Connect is a strong, supportive, collective feminist voice on issues of concern to women and adolescent girls.

Connect's feminist advocacy for public policies advances the equity and equality of women and girls. 

"I don't think we talk enough about women. About our battles, our victories. About the effect we have on the world and our willingness to change it for the better."
- Hon. Michaelle Jean, Governor General of Canada
Women's Centres Connect  is a strong voice for women’s centres in Nova Scotia. We challenge the oppression of women and advocated for social change. We do this by:
  • Working with women and girls to address societal barriers and advocate for change that has a positive impact on their families and communities;
  • Applying trauma informed anti-oppressive, gender-based and rural analyses to our work;
  • Establishing collaborative practices with other non-government organizations and diverse communities;
  • Engaging with elected officials to inform policy;
  • Building the capacity and agency of Connect members and others to advance women’s equity and equality.
