On Economic Abuse Awareness Day and during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, WomanACT is bringing together leaders from across the gender-based violence, financial, technology, privacy, research, and public policy sectors for a conversation on addressing technology-facilitated economic abuse.

Attendees can expect:
🔹 Survivor-informed research and recommendations from the EASE Project
🔹 A forward-looking discussion on the opportunities and risks AI presents in the context of economic abuse
🔹 A cross-sector panel exploring how Canada's financial, technology, privacy, and regulatory systems can move from insight to coordinated action

🎙️ Listen Now: Episode 1 — Geosciences
Women remain underrepresented across many STEM fields, including geosciences. While increasing representation is important, creating meaningful and lasting change requires more than bringing women into the field.
Retention, career growth, and opportunities for leadership are shaped by workplace culture, policies, mentorship, and institutional accountability. Barriers such as gender bias, inequitable workplace practices, and a lack of inclusive supports continue to impact women's experiences and advancement in STEM.
In this episode, we explore what it takes to build more inclusive and supportive spaces for women in geosciences—from fostering equitable workplaces to creating pathways for leadership and long-term success.
