Hot Pink Paper Campaign
In the lead up to the municipal elections in Vancouver, we conduct deep community engagement, and consult with wise organizations and individuals to identify the priority issues for all women and girls in the city.
These issues become a list of policies that we ask individuals candidates for Mayor and city council to commit to implementing if they get elected. A intersectional feminist lens is applied to policies. We call this the Hot Pink Paper Campaign.
A Four Year Campaign
After the election and during the four years of the Mayor and council’s term, WTC tracks and monitors discussions and decisions being made by council to ensure that they are honouring their commitment to women and girls. Our Watch Council group speaks at council meetings, sends letters, meets with councillors and organizes campaigns on key issues.
