Table de concertation féministe · Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine
The Table de concertation féministe Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Gaspésie-Magdalen Islands feminist round table) takes action to collectively defend women’s rights through activities involving public education, mobilisation and representation. The Table acts politically, without partisanship, to ensure that the rights and interests of all women in our region are respected in practice.
The Table is also a player in the Quebec feminist movement, which fosters the pooling of regional knowledge on the status of women, a deeper understanding of the issues, and collective criticism of issues or policies, the goal being to take action locally, regionally, nationally and internationally and thus, achieve equality for women and men and for women amongst themselves. The organisation is part of the Réseau des Tables régionales de groupes de femmes du Québec.
The Table is an independent community organisation run by committed members and a team of dynamic workers. It brings together non-institutional groups working with women in the region. It works with its members and partners to ensure that the realities of women from different backgrounds and the specific issues they face because of their gender are better known, recognised and considered.
Teaching equality for all, from early childhood to CEGEP is led by Catherine Cyr Wright, development officer at the TCFGÎM since 2018. With a bachelor’s degree in high school teaching (science & technology) and a master’s degree in educational technology, Catherine draws on her expertise in feminist research and her experience at all levels of the education system targeted by the project to create relevant training and tools based on the latest research in educational science.
