Women's centres temporarily reprieved
Year Published: 1990Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX4109 Abstract: The federal government has responded to strong pressure from women's groups, and is restoring $1.2 million in operational financing to 74 women's centres across the country, but only for a one-year "transitional" period. The government cut the operational or so-called core financing as one of the cost-saving measures announced in the federal budget. The cuts took effect April 1, and many of the centres have been on the verge of closing. However, $400,000 in cuts to women's publications and national lobby groups will not be restored. |
