The series consists of administrative and operational records related to women’s issues and programs in the Ministry of Women's Equality, and the Ministry of Government Management Services and Minister Responsible for Women’s Programs. Additionally, there are several files relating to women’s issues and projects under the guidance of different ministries in British Columbia, as well as inter-ministry working groups and commissions. A full list of ministries with records relating to women’s issues and programs in this series can be found in the attached file list.

The records cover a variety of topics as they relate to women, including: employment (non-traditional employment, women in trades, women in technology, statistics on women’s employment, and ministry job descriptions); education; aboriginal women; immigration; family violence and violence against women; children; sexual harassment; and maternity leave among others.

The records are comprised of program descriptions and overviews; resources, such as discussion papers and reports; memoranda; correspondence between ministries; briefing notes; meeting minutes and agendas; records of committees; and policies and programs from other provinces. The series also contains several published reports and pamphlets. Some of the records are covered by section 1 Women's Issues of the Women's Equality ORCS (schedule 11746).
