 Common Program - “Digital Risk Awareness” (2025-2027)

“Privacy, Security, and Safety for Women and Children in the Digital Age Working towards Building a Safer, More Secure Digital World”

Voted on at the 132nd AGM, the NCWC is pleased to introduce our new Common Program.

We invite our NCWC Councils, Federates, and Individual members to collaborate in raising awareness and advocating for solutions to pressing digital privacy, security, and safety challenges. These issues disproportionately affect women, gender-diverse individuals, and Indigenous communities, making urgent action essential.

Currently, many Canadians experience harassment, data breaches, and online exploitation, made worse by digital platforms and policies that fail to prioritize user protection. This affects every aspect of modern life and calls for immediate implementation of solutions like stronger privacy laws, digital literacy programs, and community-based safety initiatives.

Solutions must not remain abstract; they need to be accessible and actionable for everyone.

A critical concern is the lack of resources available to those facing online abuse, leaving them without vital support, safety, or justice.

This program also tackles broader digital challenges, such as search engine bias, disinformation, and online hate speech, which have wide-reaching societal impacts.

As part of this effort, we will host online workshops to provide educational guidance on digital safety, with a focus on the unique challenges faced by vulnerable communities, including new immigrants, Indigenous women, the less tech savvy, and other marginalized groups.

As an organization, we remain steadfast in our broader commitment to enhancing women’s safety—whether at home or in the workplace—by addressing issues like discrimination, harassment, and barriers to reporting. Our advocacy supports policies and practices that foster safe, inclusive, and respectful environments for all women.

In addition, we are dedicated to empowering women in leadership roles, championing their involvement in politics and corporate decision-making to create a more equitable future.

Let’s work together to ensure all have the tools, protections, and opportunities needed to thrive in both digital and physical spaces.
