From Talk to Action

Women in Business New Brunswick is leading this initiative to address key systemic barriers to women’s advancement and to build community-based approaches in support of women’s equality.

About the Project

Governments, women, feminists, and allies around the world have raised the issue of women’s representation and participation in the decision-making process. Women and non-binary people, including racialized, immigrant and Indigenous women, are all underrepresented in leadership positions. Meanwhile, COVID-19’s impact on women has been devastating, especially for marginalized groups, including Black/racialized women, newcomers, the disabled and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.

A third of management positions
is held by women in Canada and in New Brunswick.
