About this library

From 2020 to 2024, the New Brunswick Women’s Council curated a library of online content on the COVID-19 pandemic that focuses on marginalized populations or uses a social justice lens. As of 2024, the library will be maintained but new content is not being regularly added.

While most of what we have collected focuses on women or is otherwise gender-based, we are also including content that is based on other identity factors (such as race, sexual orientation, and disability) and vulnerable or marginalized populations even if they make no mention of women or gender. We are also including content on the not-for-profit sector.

The library only includes content at the regional, national, or international level that is general or broad enough to be relevant to New Brunswick. The one exception to this is the inclusion of example recovery plans from other jurisdictions that are promising in terms of advancing women’s equality or social justice more broadly.

Please note:

• We are not including information or updates on COVID-19 that governments are providing. Visit the Government of Canada or the Government of New Brunswick for this.
• We are not including information on community-based programs, initiatives, or services that are available or information on how to cope with COVID-19.
• We do not have the ability to thoroughly fact-check every link, nor do we endorse the analysis, advice, or calls to action included in the library. Our aim is to share a variety of content from reputable organizations and sources that are typically trustworthy or thoughtful.
