Fòs Feminista Canada is a registered Canadian charity and an affiliate of Fòs Feminista - an international alliance of more than 200 sexual and reproductive health rights and justice organizations in 40 countries. The Fòs Feminista alliance unites diverse ecosystem partners – local health care providers, community-based caregivers, rights-based educators, young leaders and grassroots activists – and harmonizes their multifaceted work to ensure that women, girls, and gender-diverse people have the resources, power, and safety to exercise the spectrum of their sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Additionally, Board Directors may be called on collectively and individually to share their expertise, leadership, and creativity in the drafting and implementation of organizational strategies and to participate in key organizational events, such as visits and meetings with partners and donors.
