💡 Across Canada, social enterprises are challenging traditional business models to create lasting social and environmental change. Whether it’s providing jobs to marginalized communities or launching sustainability projects, they're paving the way for more inclusive economies and proving that we don’t have to choose between doing good and doing well. 🎥 Learn more about how innovative women and gender-diverse people across Canada are using social enterprises to make a difference: https://ow.ly/5tb150UecLC #FinancialLiteracyMonth #FeministEntrepreneurship

🏠 DID YOU KNOW? 28% of women-led households in Canada are in core housing need — struggling with affordability, adequacy, or suitability. 🏠 This is no coincidence. Gendered poverty, driven by wage gaps, caregiving responsibilities, and systemic inequities, leaves women more vulnerable to housing insecurity. Those who face multiple barriers (including Indigenous women, racialized women, women with disabilities, single mothers, and members of the 2SLGBTQ+, Two Spirit, trans, and non-binary communities) are disproportionately impacted. 🏠 We need solutions that address the root causes of housing inequality.

At the Canadian Women’s Foundation, we’re working every day to build a Canada where everyone is safe from gender-based violence. It’s a big mission, and we do it in multiple ways including funding on-the-ground programs that support those affected by violence, advocacy work, and by raising public awareness, just as we’re doing right now with AwarePod. Join our community today: https://bit.ly/joinusCWF to stay up-to-date on our mission for gender justice and equality, and to receive helpful resources and tips. We’re committed to sparking important, often difficult conversations—because awareness is the first step to meaningful change. Campaigns like AwarePod highlight the real, everyday risks and sacrifices that are too often overlooked or misunderstood. We want everyone to know that gender-based violence is unacceptable and preventable. #safeandsound #publicsafety #canadianwomensfoundation
