Red Thread’s advocacy focuses on three issues
LIVING INCOME
VIOLENCE
POLITICAL VOICE
HOW WE ENGAGE
Advocating for women’s income in unwaged or low-waged work
Combating violence through activism and crisis intervention
Procuring and providing workshops, resources and tools
Building regional and transnational solidarity for greater equality
Take a look at our current and past initiatives
“Red Thread has always been a place where women can access social networks, practical help, and analytical skills, providing the opportunity for reflection, analysis, and assessment of what has been taken for granted…It has always had intersectionality at its heart and it is still the only women’s organization in the country that sets itself the goal of working with women across racialized, classed, and geographical divides.”
