antidote: Multiracial and Indigenous Girls and Women’s Network

antidote is an award-winning grassroots network and community-based organization of over 150 multiracial girls and women in Victoria, British Columbia. They work with youth, families, schools, community groups, service providers, policy makers and researchers to promote the visibility and needs of racialized minority and Indigenous girls and women.

Antidote targets barriers facing racialized girls and women by supporting their psychosocial well-being, engagement and leadership skills. Their projects are based on participatory, change-focused methods.

Their outreach services, weekly programs, workshops and social events address the needs of often marginalized girls and women. They offer a supportive environment that reduces social isolation and connects girls and women to other health, education and social services they may not otherwise access.
