Reelworld Reframe: Women in Leadership – Community Townhall Summary
On March 27th, Reelworld hosted its first townhall as part of Reelworld Reframe: Women in Leadership, a national initiative funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) to increase representation of Black, Indigenous, and Women of Colour in leadership roles in the screen industry. The townhall brought together community members to share lived experiences, identify barriers, and shape the project’s next steps.
A key activity of the project entails creating "Reelworld Women Leadership for Change," an
ad hoc group of representatives from industry associations and unions who will form inclusive committees (comprised of Black, Indigenous, Asian, South Asian and Women of Colour) within their organizations to gather insights, feedback and experiences to help shape the project. Other activities include conducting community consultations; analyzing existing research on underrepresentation and discriminatory systems; and developing policy recommendations and action plans.
Le 27 mars, Reelworld a tenu sa première assemblée communautaire dans le cadre de Reelworld Reframe : Femmes en leadership, une initiative nationale financée par Femmes et Égalité des genres Canada (FEGC) visant à accroître la représentation des femmes noires, autochtones et racisées dans les rôles de leadership au sein de l’industrie de l’écran. Cette assemblée a réuni des membres de la communauté afin de partager leurs expériences vécues, d’identifier les obstacles existants et de contribuer à orienter les prochaines étapes du projet.
