Social justice work
Women’s rights must be defended individually, socially and politically.
CALACS L’Ancrage takes part in a range of actions and endeavours (letters, petitions, protests, research and studies, and more) dealing with social justice issues.
Coalition-building and representation
For CALACS L’Ancrage, it is of prime importance to create and consolidate ties with fellow community organizations, other CALACS and the women’s movement. To do this, it takes part in a number of coalitions and representations. Through this representation work, CALACS L’Ancrage demands, among other things, that the unique character of autonomous community organizations be recognized, and that these organizations be appropriately funded.
