Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy

Canada's Feminist International Assistance Policy, launched in 2017, focuses on promoting gender equality and empowering women and girls globally. It aims to address the root causes of poverty and inequality through a lens that prioritizes women's rights, health, and education. The policy directs Canadian aid to initiatives that enhance women's leadership, improve access to resources, and combat violence against women. By adopting a feminist approach, Canada seeks to create sustainable development that benefits everyone, recognizing that empowering women is essential for progress in all areas of society.
