About the Courage to Act Foundation

The Courage to Act Foundation (C2AF) is a national non-profit focused on addressing sexual and gender-based violence at Canadian post-secondary institutions. We collaborate with survivors, communities, governments, and public and private institutions to co-design supports, systems and strategies for safer, more inclusive campuses.

About the At the Root Project

Women and gender-diverse students deserve to learn, work and thrive in their careers. However, they are at a high risk of being subjected to sexual violence or harassment when they pursue science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) professions. We are working to remove barriers at the root in STEM co-ops, internships and other experiential learning opportunities.
