GOOD TO BE GOOD, a community-led grassroots nonprofit focused on progamming and advocacy, offers the Empowering Care Program (ECP) to support women and gender-diverse individuals with intersecting identities who face gender-based violence, poverty, and marginalization. ECP provides essential relief by meeting their basic needs through tailored supports such as cash transfers, gift cards, transportation, counselling, menstrual and personal care, trauma-informed community resources.
Gender disparities hinder equality for everyone. Women and gender-diverse individuals from marginalized communities face increased risks of gender-based violence, discrimination, and poverty, leaving them with fewer resources and pathways to safety and equity. Barriers to essential social and support services complicate their recovery. Community organizations like GOOD TO BE GOOD play a vital role by providing essential services to meet evolving needs and advocating for systemic change.
GOOD TO BE GOOD's Empowering Care Program offers essential services and restorative supports to women and gender-diverse individuals from our communities. We approach direct support as a vital entry point for gender equity. By meeting women where they are, we provide immediate assistance and help create conditions that empower them to rebuild their lives on their terms. This approach enables our community to reclaim their rights and dignity and fosters a pathway toward safety and autonomy.
Our program enhances low-barrier, anti-oppressive access to essential supports and care services for women and gender-diverse individuals, prioritizing their lived experiences. By addressing their basic needs and advocating for their rights, we bolster a foundation for progress. Investing in their well-being not only honours their humanity but also creates a positive progress in their community. As they gain safety and dignity, this fosters a more equitable and supportive environment for all. .
