Administrative history

The British Columbia Federation of Women is an umbrella group for women's organizations in British Columbia. It was founded in 1974. Its goal was to organize province-wide action on women's issues, and it was particularly concerned with health, child care, education and employment. The Federation's objective was also to provide a network of support for women’s diverse struggles and “to overcome the physical and cultural isolation faced by all our sisters in this society ’’. Only women groups were affiliated with the federation. BCFW coordinators defined the organisation as “a linking together mechanism”. At the Annual General Convention delegates from each of the regions elected committee members and voted on policy resolutions. Vancouver Rape Relief was a member of the British Columbia Federation of Women and was one of the few remaining groups when the federation folded in 1989.

La British Columbia Federation of Women (Fédération des femmes de la Colombie-Britannique) est un groupe de coordination des organisations féminines de la Colombie-Britannique. Elle a été fondée en 1974. Son objectif était d'organiser une action à l'échelle de la province sur les questions relatives aux femmes, et elle s'intéressait particulièrement à la santé, à la garde d'enfants, à l'éducation et à l'emploi. L'objectif de la Fédération était également de fournir un réseau de soutien aux diverses luttes des femmes et de "surmonter l'isolement physique et culturel auquel sont confrontées toutes nos sœurs dans cette société". Seuls les groupes de femmes étaient affiliés à la fédération. Les coordinatrices de la BCFW ont défini l'organisation comme "un mécanisme de liaison". Lors de la convention générale annuelle, les délégués de chaque région élisent les membres du comité et votent les résolutions politiques. Vancouver Rape Relief était membre de la British Columbia Federation of Women et était l'un des quelques groupes restants lorsque la fédération s'est dissoute en 1989.
