"Many Ontario women are living on incomes below the poverty line. Are you one of these women? Their income does not provide them with enough to pay the rent and feed their family. It’s particularly tough for women raising children on their own.
Whether you are on welfare, disability, or working for low wages, women need affordable child care, affordable housing, and training and education to get better jobs.
The Ontario government has developed a strategy to reduce poverty and will be holding consultations in 2011 on what changes to make to welfare and disability programs.
Full day kindergarten is being phased in and the government has announced a long-term affordable housing strategy.
These changes could have a profound effect on women’s lives across the province so it’s important that women share their experiences and ideas with the government and other organizations.
We would like to find out what are the best ways to involve women across the province in these discussions. We want to have your voice heard.
Over the longer term we are exploring the idea of building a provincial network connecting low and modest income women to express their views and provide input on programs for women’s economic security."
