About the Fòs Feminista Canada and its Board of Directors

Fòs Feminista Canada is a registered Canadian charity and an affiliate of Fòs Feminista - an international alliance of more than 200 sexual and reproductive health rights and justice organizations in 40 countries. The Fòs Feminista alliance unites diverse ecosystem partners – local health care providers, community-based caregivers, rights-based educators, young leaders and grassroots activists – and harmonizes their multifaceted work to ensure that women, girls, and gender-diverse people have the resources, power, and safety to exercise the spectrum of their sexual and reproductive health and rights. With its leadership, governance, and programming rooted in the Global South, Fòs Feminista adds value to the collective work of the Alliance and the SRHRJ ecosystem in three primary ways :

• We connect partners and allies to facilitate collaboration and joint action.
• We accompany partners in building organizational capabilities to support their success in advancing their priorities.
• We catalyze funding for an intersectional feminist agenda on sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice.

Fòs Feminista Canada operates within this framework, bringing a unique perspective shaped by Canada’s policy landscape, civil society, and feminist movements. We contribute to strategic thinking, learning, and innovation across the alliance, while anchoring collaborative efforts that reflect Canada’s commitments to gender equality, innovative finance and global health. Fòs Feminista Canada’s Board comprises three Directors who have been with the organization since its original registration in 2018. They bring unique contributions and a strong collective commitment to the cause and provide critical guidance to the Executive Director. As such, the board of directors plays an important role in understanding and maintaining the organization’s strategic focus, legal compliance, and accountability to the broader vision within this unique structure.
