What Table de concertation des groupes de femmes de la Gaspésie et des Îles-de-la-Madeleine does

Table de concertation des groupes de femmes de la Gaspésie et des Îles-de-la-Madeleine (operating as Table de concertation féministe GÎM, TCFGIM) is an autonomous feminist community organization founded around 1982 and based in Gaspé, Quebec. It functions as the regional coordinating table (Table de concertation) for non-institutional, nonprofit feminist groups working with women and people experiencing gender-based oppression across the Gaspésie region (five MRCs: Avignon, Bonaventure, Côte-de-Gaspé, Haute-Gaspésie, Rocher-Percé) and the Magdalen Islands archipelago. Its core activities are public education, mobilization, research, and political representation on issues including systemic violence, women's health, poverty, housing, work-life balance, gender-based discrimination, and the situation of women at intersecting marginalizations (immigrant women, 2SLGBTQIA+ people, Indigenous women, women with disabilities).

The organization delivers its mandate through a portfolio of programs and publications. Active multi-year initiatives include Festif & Safe : Tout le monde y veille (2023-2027), a sexual-assault and involuntary-intoxication prevention partnership with three regional CALACS and Mi-Chemin de Gaspé covering four major festivals; Enseigner l'égalité (2025-2028), free training for education professionals through March 2028; the Comité-conseil en santé des femmes (active since 2017); and the interactive Bottin des ressources régionales en condition féminine. Its published outputs include field research reports (Parcours de résilience on immigrant women's employment; a study on caregiver parents; a 2026 analysis on the poverty-violence-housing nexus), zines (Plus féministe que tu crois!, Quand les voix s'emmêlent, l'espoir se tisse for the 2025 Marche mondiale des femmes), and open letters in regional media. All programs, training, and publications are offered free of charge and distributed through its membership network, community mobilization committee, festivals, and educational institutions.

The organization is member-driven (with a membership requirement of feminist, non-institutional, nonprofit status and a majority of women or gender-oppressed people in governance) and is funded primarily through government grants via the 2024-2027 Entente sectorielle de développement en matière d'égalité entre les femmes et les hommes, with contributions from the Secrétariat à la condition féminine, five regional MRCs, the Communauté maritime des Îles-de-la-Madeleine, the Direction régionale de santé publique, and federal partners including Femmes et égalité des genres Canada. It has a small team of approximately seven staff and is not publicly traded, with no parent company, equity investors, or commercial revenue.

Direct peers

• Fédération des femmes du Québec: Quebec-wide feminist umbrella organization representing and coordinating women's groups across the province; the Table is a regional affiliate that participates in FFQ-coordinated mobilizations. Directly comparable as a feminist coordinating body serving the same mission at a different geographic scale.
• Table de concertation des groupes de femmes de la Mauricie: Regional feminist coordinating table for Mauricie; operates the same Tables de concertation model with non-institutional feminist member groups, advocacy training, and political representation. Sister organization in the Quebec feminist coordination network.
• Table de concertation des groupes de femmes du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean: Regional feminist coordinating table for Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, another rural Quebec region with demographic and economic dynamics broadly similar to Gaspésie; same member-based coordinating model and same advocacy mandate, making it a particularly close comparable on regional context.
• Table des groupes de femmes de Montréal: Regional feminist coordinating table serving Montréal, structurally identical to the Table de concertation GÎM in mandate (collective defense of women's rights, member coordination, public education, political representation) but at much larger urban scale. Closest functional peer.
• Table de concertation de Laval en condition féminine: Regional feminist coordinating table for Laval, Quebec, operating the same member-based model of non-institutional feminist groups and providing training, advocacy, and resource coordination. Directly comparable mission and operating model at a different regional scale.
• Coordination du Québec de la Marche mondiale des femmes: Quebec national coordination of the World Women's March, of which the Table is an explicit regional participant. Operates at a higher geographic tier but with the same feminist mobilization mandate and overlapping activist base; functions as both partner and meta-coordinator.
• Regroupement des femmes de l'Outaouais: Regional feminist coordinating body for the Outaouais region of Quebec, organizing non-institutional women's groups around collective advocacy, education, and mobilization. Sister Tables de concertation within the broader Quebec feminist coordination ecosystem.
• Regroupement des groupes de femmes de la Capitale-Nationale: Regional feminist coordinating body for the Capitale-Nationale (Québec City) region; same membership-of-feminist-groups model, same advocacy/education/mobilization mandate, and same role as a regional node within the Quebec feminist movement.

Broad incumbents

• Canadian Women's Foundation: National Canadian women's foundation operating grantmaking, advocacy, and public-education programs across provinces. Compares to the Table as a funder/peer in the same gender-equality field, but operates nationally with a much larger scale and a funder role rather than a regional coordinating role.

Emerging players

• Concertation des luttes contre l'exploitation sexuelle (CLES): Quebec-wide feminist coalition addressing sexual exploitation and intersecting forms of gender-based violence. Comparably small, advocacy-driven, coalition-based operating model, with thematic overlap on sexual-assault prevention (a core Table program area via Festif & Safe).
