CFUW is a non-partisan, voluntary, self-funded organization, working to improve the status of women and to promote human rights, public education, social justice, and peace for girls and women in Canada and around the world.  CFUW Clubs are involved in community outreach on such initiatives as working to prevent violence against women, child poverty, early learning and childcare.

CFUW’s impact on women’s issues extends beyond its local clubs; the organization also plays a key role in influencing the lives of women globally:

• the largest affiliate of Graduate Women International, which represents women worldwide;
• holds special consultative status with the United Nations (ECOSOC);
• belongs to the Education Committee of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO; and
• regularly sends a delegation to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.

The Advocacy Committee is involved in executing the mission of CFUW Burlington.
