Breaking Barriers,

Building Futures

Women have made remarkable strides in the workforce, but challenges remain in employment, wage equality, and leadership representation. In Canada, the employment rate for women aged 15 and over stands at 57.1%, with core-aged women (25 to 54) achieving a record-high participation rate of 81.0% in 2022, even among those with young children. Yet, wage gaps persist, and these disparities are even greater for immigrant and indigenous women. Globally, efforts to close gender gaps are advancing, with Europe leading the way, having closed 75% of its overall gender gap in 2023. However, women continue to face barriers in accessing leadership roles and equitable opportunities.

​

At FAN, we’re committed to changing these statistics. By championing mentorship, professional development, and inclusive networks, we aim to empower women to break barriers, achieve equity, and thrive in every stage of their careers. Together, we can build a future where every woman has the opportunity to lead, succeed, and inspire.

Support Through Life Changes

Returning to work after maternity leave, caregiving, or a career break can feel like having to prove yourself all over again. Skills and experience do not disappear during time away, yet recruiters and employers may treat a gap on a résumé as a reason to overlook them. For many women, the challenge goes deeper than finding a job: time away can also shake their sense of professional identity.

​

That is why Femme Alliance Network offers mentorship camps and training. We help women rebuild confidence, strengthen their skills, reconnect with their ambitions, and navigate the path back to work. Women returning to the workforce deserve opportunities that recognize the full value they bring.
