Regroupement des groupes de femmes de la région de la Capitale-Nationale

What Regroupement des groupes de femmes de la région de la Capitale-Nationale does

Regroupement des groupes de femmes de la région de la Capitale-Nationale (RGF-CN) is a Quebec-based non-profit umbrella organization founded in 2011 that unites nearly 40 independent women's groups operating across the Capitale-Nationale administrative region. Its functional role is threefold: (1) collective representation of member groups before Quebec government bodies and public funders, (2) production and dissemination of feminist educational tools, training resources, and publications, and (3) coordination of regional advocacy initiatives including a recurring observatory on violence against women. The organization operates with a small staff (1-10 employees) and is anchored by long-standing coalition ties with unions, allied research chairs, and community organizations.

RGF-CN's revenue model is that of a typical grant-funded Quebec NGO: core and project funding from Quebec government programs (notably through the Secrétariat à la condition féminine and related ministries), supplemented by federal project grants and episodic partner contributions. It does not sell goods or services in a commercial sense; its "products" are publications, training workshops, policy submissions, and convening events. The 2025 hosting of the 6th edition of the Marche mondiale des femmes (World March of Women) in October 2025 represents its largest recent mobilization, drawing together international and regional feminist movements through the local organizational platform.

The underlying technical surface is conventional for a small advocacy NGO: a website, publication catalog, and event logistics infrastructure. There is no evidence of proprietary technology, platform architecture, or data systems beyond standard non-profit operations tools. The organization's competitive position rests on its institutional role as the recognized regional feminist umbrella rather than on any technical or product differentiation.

Core offering

RGF-CN is a regional feminist non-profit that unites nearly 40 women's groups in the Capitale-Nationale area (Portneuf-Québec-Charlevoix) and acts collectively in an intersectional feminist perspective. Its main strategies are training, public speaking, and mobilization, and it prioritizes the issues of violence against women, women's health, ecofeminism, and women's poverty. It produces publications, research reports, awareness tools, and educational resources that are distributed through its member network, public events, and digital channels.

Product overview

RGF-CN is a feminist advocacy organization offering educational resources, research publications, and training programs rather than a technology product platform. Their offerings include inclusifs.org (an online self-training platform for workplace diversity), various research reports on women's issues (COVID-19 impacts, violence, mental health, menstrual precarity), educational games (Féminiquoi?!), and awareness tools (bientraitance in healthcare). These publications and tools are distributed through their website and partner organizations, serving women's groups and advocacy communities in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec.
