Action for Socioeconomic Equality
FY 2024-25 · 2024-08-26
Summary
Through this 31-month systemic change project, the YWCA Montréal will scale the Action on Equality in Colleges project to advance women’s and girls’ economic security and prosperity. The organization will scale the project by expanding its scope to other post-secondary institutions, including vocational schools. The project will address all forms of gender-based violence, such as harassment, gender stereotypes, and gender discrimination in post-secondary institutions. To achieve this, the project will deepen understandings of the challenges faced by women in the target communities, develop specialized tools and practices to promote gender-based violence prevention, and support communities in changing their policies and practices to create sustainable change.
With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, The Y des femmes will produce a turnkey institutional toolkit, offer personalized strategic support to assist in the review of internal policies, carry out knowledge transfer, develop a targeted approach for traditionally male-dominated environments and do early prevention in order to act upstream on norms, dynamics and practices. By doing so, the organization will contribute further to the advancement of gender equality.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de changement systémique de 31 mois, le Y des femmes de Montréal amplifiera le projet Agir pour l’égalité en milieu collégial pour faire progresser la sécurité et la prospérité économique des femmes et filles. Le projet sera amplifié en élargissant sa portée à d’autres milieux d’enseignement postsecondaire, entre autres dans les centres de formation professionnelle. Il s’attaquera à toutes formes de violences basées sur le genre, tel que le harcèlement, les stéréotypes de genre et la discrimination sexiste dans les institutions d’enseignement postsecondaire. Pour ce faire, le projet va approfondir la compréhension des enjeux vécus par les femmes à l’intérieur des milieux visés, développer des outils et des pratiques adaptés pour faciliter la prévention des violences basées sur le genre, soutenir les milieux dans l’évolution de leurs politiques et pratiques afin d’apporter des changements durables.
Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, le Y des femmes réalisera une trousse institutionnelle clé en main, offrira des accompagnements stratégiques pour soutenir la révision de politiques internes, effectuera le transfert de connaissances, développera une approche ciblée pour les milieux traditionnellement masculins et fera de la prévention précoce afin d’agir en amont sur les normes, les dynamiques et les pratiques. Ce faisant, l’organisme contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres.
