Better for the Businesswoman is Better for Everyone
Data shows that women-owned and led businesses are good investments. Their growth, directly and indirectly, contributes to economic growth.
Many women-owned businesses contract work out to freelancers. The self-employed contribute to the output of businesses, while businesses support their growth.
There are more than 200,000 women-owned businesses today. Before the pandemic, there were a million.
Self-employed Canadians are a group that policy work tends to miss. If they choose to join the unemployed, this can pose a huge problem.
The demand for systemic change should be motivated by moral and social justice views.
The Power of Collective Action
Nancy believes that change at the systemic level can happen through collective action and coordinated advocacy.
Individual change is a distraction. It distracts people from systemic barriers and issues, discouraging them from forming groups.
Groups like the Canadian Women’s Chamber of Commerce speak to the policymakers. However, they need women’s voices to inform them of their experiences and thoughts.
Advocacy means more than just signing petitions and marching in rallies.
You can also advocate through the way you run your business, your conversations with people, and joining groups like the Chamber.
