Qu\u00e9bec is the largest feminist coalition of independent community action in Quebec. In good times and bad, it unites about a hundred women\u2019s centres in every region of Quebec. It reaches between 250,000 and 300,000 women each year.<\/p>\n<p>Just like its members, the coalition practices independent, feminist community action. It encourages women\u2019s involvement through a series of structural means, such as through truly representative democracy or through compensation for expenses.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019R represents women\u2019s centres at several community and research roundtables, representing the interests of its members and the priorities decided at each Annual General Meeting. For instance, the team from L\u2019R\u2019s office represents women\u2019s centres in campaigns to increase funding for the overall mission of community groups. L\u2019R\u2019s members also ask that L\u2019R is part of the Group of 13 and that it is involved in different women\u2019s studies research groups.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:1.5rem;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:0.3rem;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\" id=\"qui-r\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:30;line-height:1.2;\">What is L\u2019R ?<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\" style=\"--awb-border-size:0px;--awb-icon-size:25px;--awb-content-font-size:1em;--awb-icon-alignment:left;--awb-hover-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-border-color:#e7e4e2;--awb-background-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-divider-color:var(--awb-color2);--awb-divider-hover-color:var(--awb-color2);--awb-icon-color:var(--awb-color6);--awb-title-color:var(--awb-color6);--awb-content-color:var(--awb-color7);--awb-icon-box-color:#333333;--awb-toggle-hover-accent-color:#00b5d5;--awb-toggle-active-accent-color:var(--awb-color5);--awb-title-font-family:&quot;Poppins&quot;;--awb-title-font-weight:600;--awb-title-font-style:normal;--awb-title-font-size:15px;--awb-content-font-family:&quot;Lato&quot;;--awb-content-font-style:normal;--awb-content-font-weight:400;\"><div class=\"panel-group fusion-toggle-icon-unboxed\" id=\"accordion-5865-1\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-f9258b6d3024e1757 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#00b5d5;--awb-content-color:#848484;\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h3 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_f9258b6d3024e1757\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"f9258b6d3024e1757\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#f9258b6d3024e1757\" href=\"#f9258b6d3024e1757\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Through the years<\/span><\/a><\/h3><\/div><div id=\"f9258b6d3024e1757\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_f9258b6d3024e1757\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the early 1980s, most women\u2019s centres came into being in Quebec spontaneously, without any specific action to start them. They were born from the feminism of the 1970s, a feminism which impacted women\u2019s daily lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In January 1984, 53 women\u2019s centres in Quebec held a meeting for the first time. This historic event helped to combat the isolation of individual women\u2019s centres and encouraged them to think about what they could do as a collective. One year later, after a consultation in every region of Quebec, more than 80 women\u2019s centres founded a provincial coalition.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rcentres.qc.ca\/2010\/05\/07\/25-ans-sur-son-r-daller\/\">In June 1985, L\u2019R des centres de femmes du Quebec was born<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-68d3218e42c7b0369 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#00b5d5;--awb-content-color:#848484;\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h3 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_68d3218e42c7b0369\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"68d3218e42c7b0369\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#68d3218e42c7b0369\" href=\"#68d3218e42c7b0369\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Members<\/span><\/a><\/h3><\/div><div id=\"68d3218e42c7b0369\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_68d3218e42c7b0369\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Today, 82 women\u2019s centres are members of L\u2019R.

For example, we hold training sessions on feminist management and feminist intervention. In the same way, the colloquia and seminars organized by L\u2019R have, over the years, become spaces for our members to renew their knowledge, particularly \u201cFrom popular education to political action\u201d in 2004, the \u201cNotebook of citizen intelligence\u201d in 2005 and the \u201cEducational Guide for Effective Media Relations\u201d in 2006.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2009, a consultation across Quebec allowed women\u2019s centres to highlight the need to adhere to a\u00a0<strong>Basis of Political Unity (BPU)<\/strong>. Growing poverty and an increased number of transfers from the health system, as well as the development of a consumer culture in service provision, are just some of the factors that can explain the whirlwind that centres say they are experiencing. In 2011, L\u2019R decided to start the important project of working with its member groups to have them adopt the BPU, adopt transformation of practices and promote the participation of centre participants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">These training sessions and processes have the objective of giving activists, participants, board members and employees the tools they need to promote a feminist project each day at the centres and in their desire for social change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-cfa6357e3b2e36de0 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#00b5d5;--awb-content-color:#848484;\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h3 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_cfa6357e3b2e36de0\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"cfa6357e3b2e36de0\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#cfa6357e3b2e36de0\" href=\"#cfa6357e3b2e36de0\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Consolidating practices<\/span><\/a><\/h3><\/div><div id=\"cfa6357e3b2e36de0\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_cfa6357e3b2e36de0\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\"><span class=\"s1\">Funding for L\u2019R comes in large part from the financial contributions of its members, from membership fees and from registration for the annual congress. Women\u2019s centres pay annual membership fees equal to 1.2% of their recurring subsidies. After members\u2019 contributions, the most important funder for L\u2019R is the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS). Through the Support Program for Community Organizations (PSOC), the MSSS funds L\u2019R\u2019s global mission. In the 2017-2018 fiscal year, the MSSS allotted $201,799 to L\u2019R.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Like all community groups, L\u2019R is losing money, which is why we actively participated in the CA$$$H campaign with our allies from the Table des regroupements provinciaux and the Engagez-vous pour la communautaire! campaign with other member coalitions from the RQ-ACA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Each year, the executive committee must manage L\u2019R\u2019s budget, a difficult task as funding from the MSSS only covers 40% of L\u2019R\u2019s revenue.

This amount varies from centre to centre, but usually comes out to around $2000 per year. This is not a small amount of money, but it makes a big difference when considering all of the advantages of being a member of L\u2019R as an individual centre and as one centre among many.<\/p>\n<p>The membership fee is a political choice, as it allows us to cover the cost of the services mentioned above (training, information, accompaniment), community life, the protection of the mission and the funding of women\u2019s centres, and the defence of women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>In the short term, the cost of membership may seem high, but we invite you to consider that in the medium or long term, it is a smart way to protect the practices, the mission and the funding of women\u2019s centres.<\/p>\n<p>As a member of L\u2019R, you support the fight for the funding of women\u2019s centres and the protection of their mission. In fact, L\u2019R represents its members during negotiations for the PSOC, the Ministry\u2019s funding scheme for community services. Did you know that, if your funding was increased by at least $165,000 in 2008, it is because L\u2019R fought for that increase?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-background-position:left top;--awb-border-sizes-top:0px;--awb-border-sizes-bottom:0px;--awb-border-sizes-left:0px;--awb-border-sizes-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:4%;--awb-background-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-background-image:linear-gradient(180deg, var(--awb-color4) 75%,var(--awb-color1) 100%);--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" id=\"services\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-top:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:1.5rem;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:0.3rem;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:30;line-height:1.2;\">Services for members<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Along with the mission of women\u2019s centres, the cohesion of our practices is at the heart of L\u2019R\u2019s mission.
