The BC Rural
Women's Network....
Herstory
In
2002-2003,
the BC Rural Women’s Project, funded by Status of Women Canada and the
Canadian
Rural Partnership, examined the ways that low-income and access to
communication
services affect women living in rural and remote communities in
BC.
Over 100 women living in rural and remote communities in British
Columbia
participated in the project. Women participants shared their
experiences
and recommendations for change in a variety of ways including community dialogues,
phone conversations, mailed or faxed in questionnaires, and individual conversations.
To ensure information continued to be shared with women who
participated in the dialogues, the BC Rural Women's Network was
created. Since the spring of 2003 the BCRWN has continued to
evolve and focus on bringing forward rural women's experiences to
better inform public policy relevant to rural women's lives.
