Abstract

In the first issue of Yemaya, we had explained how, after government cuts to unemployment insurance, a huge protest movement of seasonal workers highly dependent on this type of aid programmes, had developed in the coastal communities of Canada. The movement was led mainly by women. Some of them had organized conferences to help coastal women break their isolation and to provide them with critical information. They had conducted an action research to help develop strategies for action and assist them to meet with decision-makers in order to bring about social changes identified as critical.
