Women7 Canada

Welcome to the

w7 2025!

The Women’s 7 (W7) unites feminist activists, organizations, and experts from all the G7 countries and the Global South to advocate for gender justice and women’s rights for the 2025 G7 in Canada. Each year, the W7 makes urgent recommendations and holds the G7 governments accountable.


In 2025, the W7 is driving bold action by engaging early, often, and loudly.


History: The first W7 took place in 2018, when Canadian organizations set a new direction with a feminist focus. They addressed issues like sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender-based violence (GBV), and unpaid and paid care. In 2018, Global South feminist activists participated for the first time. Since then, W7 hosts in other countries have built on the Canadian focus, shaping their own timely goals and priorities.

Highlights of this year's areas of focus

As Canada’s W7 2025 organizing committee, we are watching:
