The objective of Libre Accès is to fight violence against women by promoting their safe and equal integration into the various spheres of society.
As part of this project, trans women, women with disabilities and immigrant women took part in an adventure of visual and content creation. They shared accounts that they want to make visible in order to raise awareness in workplaces as well as in the health and education sectors.
In this special page of the ConcertAction Femmes Estrie website, explore videos, a toolkit, and organizations with the expertise to advise groups wishing to help build an inclusive society for the diversity of women.
Libre Accès is made possible by the valuable involvement of diverse women and the following groups: CALACS de Granby, Fédération des communautés culturelles de l’Estrie, IRIS-Estrie, La Maison Séjour and Promotion Handicap Estrie.
