Equity is Not a Women's Issue
A symptom of a lack of equity and inclusion in policing is the underrepresentation of diverse and varied groups.
In Canada, 50% of our population is female yet represented in only 21% of policing with only 15% of women in leadership roles. Underrepresentation is occurring despite women being in policing for over 100 years.

Let's Get It #Together
Questioning exclusionary practices for the professionalization of policing comes at a critical time.
"Policing in Canada is experiencing a crisis of credibility, both internally and in the public eye
arising from the existence of exclusionary environments within police organizations"

An Inclusive Approach to Equity
"WE" are committed to support and empower every police officer regardless of gender, race, age, sexual orientation, group membership, politics, or positional status to engage an inclusive and collaborative police narrative about equity in our workplace. "WE" intend to generate a dialogue for innovative, practical and sustainable solutions for equity and inclusion as it relates to gender through investigation, exploration, learning, consulting and measuring.
