About
SCWIST is launching a campaign to inspire a movement for Safe STEM workplaces in Canada and around the world.
Through a series of impactful videos and media content, we will shed light on the unique challenges marginalized groups encounter in STEM—highlighting systemic issues in the STEM landscape.
This campaign calls on a need for policy reforms and clear reporting pathways. Our call-to-action is clear: a transformative shift in workplace culture and behaviors is essential to create environments where everyone can thrive.
or those who understand the ongoing fight for human rights, many of us are asking – What’s Next? The economic imperative for a future that will see a steep rise in STEM jobs, needs a groundswell of champions to #leadthechange! We express our heartfelt thanks to the equity leaders who journey with us on driving this campaign!
