Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology
The Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) is a registered Canadian charity (CRA Reg. No. 119154607RR0001) established in 1981 to promote gender equity in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Focused on systemic change, the organization supports education, career development, and policy advocacy to empower women and girls in STEM fields.
History
Founded in Vancouver, SCWIST emerged during a period of growing awareness about gender disparities in STEM. For over four decades, it has addressed systemic barriers through mentorship, networking, and public outreach, positioning itself as a key advocate for inclusive practices in Canadian STEM sectors.
Mission and Programs
SCWIST’s mission centers on fostering equitable opportunities in STEM through three core initiatives:
- Youth Engagement: Programs targeting early education aim to inspire curiosity in STEM and develop leadership skills among young participants[^2^].
- Career Development: Initiatives such as workshops and networking events equip professionals with resources for career advancement[^2^][^4^].
- Advocacy and Policy: The organization collaborates with institutions to influence policies that reduce systemic barriers to gender equity in STEM[^2^][^4^].
Funding and Impact
As a registered charity, SCWIST relies on donations to sustain its programs[^2^][^3^]. Contributions support outreach efforts, mentorship networks, and advocacy campaigns aimed at increasing representation of women in STEM leadership roles[^4^].
