Working for equality
Women's Centres in Nova Scotia are dedicated to achieving equity and equality for women by:
- Improving the well-being and economic status of women and adolescent girls with information, services, programs, support and advocacy designed to address the complexity of issues in their lives;
- Increasing community awareness and providing public education on issues of concern to women and adolescent girls;
- Uniting women, their communities and government to create public policy to advance the status of women;
- Advocating for women's human rights.
Women's Centres Connect unites the eight 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.
Connnect provides leadership in the struggle for women's equality and articulates women's concerns to the public and to policy makers.
"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
