Resolutions
Resolutions are the response by CFUW to issues that concern women's equality and the status of women and girls in the areas of education, peace, justice and human rights.
Resolutions are a way of educating our members about current issues. Resolutions are the primary public awareness tool that we have to take an issue from coast-to-coast through 118 clubs to inform 9200 members. Resolutions form the framework for CFUW action and advocacy. They become CFUW policy. Our policy is what permits us to take advocacy action. Without policy, CFUW cannot express its voice.
Early Resolutions taken on by CFUW were centered on issues such as protesting the dismissal of married women university staff, advocating for pay equity, advocating for disarmament, advocating for the plight of post-WWII refugees and advocating for the expansion of women's access to post-secondary education in Canada.
Resolutions provide direction for CFUW clubs in terms of planning meeting programs and arranging for speakers, engaging CFUW members in studying a broad range of socio-economic issues, proposing and assessing remedial actions, developing club positions and defining national policies.
Resolutions come from the grassroots of the organization and are the result of extensive research, debate, and consultation. In general, local issues are championed by CFUW Clubs, provincial issues by Provincial Councils, and national issues by the CFUW Board. Resolutions also allow us to be proactive. When a resolution is passed we can contact local public officials to share our concerns. They also allow us to react to the government's agenda, its consultations and legislation. They permit us to react to, and take action for problems within our communities. Resolutions also provide a venue for collaboration with other organizations with similar concerns.Resolutions
