In April, 2006 the
Women's Economic Justice Report on Guaranteed Livable Income was
released at a public meeting in Victoria BC. Follow this link to read
Project background:
http://pacificcoast.net/~swag/swcproject05.htm
Hard copies of the
report (printed with 100% recycled newsprint with a colour cover) have
been distributed to many groups and individuals in across Canada and a
few to the US and overseas. Out of 1000 copies, we have only 200 hard
copies left which we are reserving for those without easy access to the
internet.
Note: This report
is not just for women. All the women interviewed want a Guaranteed Livable
Income for everyone; however, they also recognize that women face more
poverty, stress, violence, unpaid and underpaid work, while also carrying
primary responsibility and worry for the well-being of the world's children
The report has now
been posted online:
