Mandate, Mission, and Priorities

How may we help you?

MANDATE

Action ontarienne contre la violence faite aux femmes (Action ontarienne) was founded in 1988 by frontline workers who had identified the need for a province-wide organization. The organization comprises francophone feminist organizations working to end the oppression of women. Action ontarienne has a mandate to work to prevent violence, provide ongoing training for workers, set directions and take the initiative to establish French-language services, analyse issues and produce education and awareness materials in French, grounded in a feminist analysis of the social and community situation.
