Women need our help

Here in British Columbia, retail workers, cleaners, travel and hospitality industry staff – these are just some of the areas that have been severely affected by layoffs and rollbacks. All are areas where women are a significant majority of the workforce.

We're Helping Women Now

Dress for Success is grateful that provincial and federal governments are coming through with crucial support programs.

But there can be a lot to navigate to get access to that support. Especially for women who don’t speak English as their first language… Or who have limited or no access to the internet.. Or who face any number of barriers to getting information or to making that application.
