What is the Women in Public Policy (WIPP) Initiative?
Women are disproportionately represented among low-wage and part-time workers, unpaid caregivers, victims of domestic violence, and people living in poverty, among other areas. As such, public policies that respond to the needs and conditions of the general public often do not address the situations of women in all their diversity, and in some cases further disadvantage women. The Women in Public Policy initiative started in 1999 to address and alleviate this situation. The mandate of this initiative is to work with women in community-based social justice and equality seeking groups to develop ways for these groups to participate meaningfully and effectively in public policy development processes.
After completing the Nova Scotia based research report Never Give Up: Women Making Policy Change in 1999, and holding a national workshop, Sharing Our Strengths, the same year, we produced Steps Toward a Credible and Inclusive Public Policy Process in 2000. We are now evaluating the Steps document and, more generally, using the document as a starting point for further exploring how community-based knowledge can become an integral element in public policy development.
