Our mission is to transform our cities to work for all women and girls, through community engagement, inclusive policies and equitable representation.

Our vision is to live in cities where all women and girls have real social, economic and political power.

We educate, promote awareness and take action on issues such as affordable housing, violence against women, leadership, electoral reform, aboriginal women’s priorities, and the environment.

We examine the impact different public policies will have on women and girls using an equity/intersectional lens that includes sex, race, gender, and income.

We want women and girls to be engaged as decision makers, as elected officials, workers, planners, mothers and informed citizens to transform our cities to be more equitable and democratic for all. We ask: what changes can cities make to improve the lives of women and girls?

Working Gear is a registered charitable non-profit society. We are run by volunteers and have been operating in Vancouver, British Columbia since 2007. We assist low income unemployed men in their return to the workplace by providing work appropriate clothing at no cost. These men are seeking jobs in a wide range of industries and we provide them with everything from boots to suits.

WHAT IS WAI?

World Awareness Initiative is a global movement that focusses on using dialogues to bridge divides and create a more inclusive world.

We host workshops to develop practical communication skills and create safe spaces for young leaders to practice those skills. We encourage young leaders to look beyond the superficial and explore 'WHY' something is happening by organizing dialogue based events.

Through our worldwide network of chapters and partnerships, we hope to raise awareness and inspire change through communication. We invite you to join our conversation!
