National Financial Literacy StrategyInitiative details

Families Canada programs

Families Canada is working to connect women living on low incomes with financial literacy programs that meet their needs. Through national research and consultations, they have identified gender-specific barriers that prevent women living on low incomes (particularly those that have experienced trauma and violence) from accessing financial literacy information and financial products and services. They offer professional development training to help financial literacy educators understand and apply trauma- and violence-informed approaches (TVIA) when supporting women. They continue to work to incorporate Strategy-Aligned Measures in their financial literacy work, and take a systemic approach to improving women's and girls' economic security and prosperity.
