Description (French)
Ce projet d’une durée de 47 mois vise à fournir à l'organisation les capacités dont elle a besoin pour continuer à promouvoir les changements sociaux et systémiques qui favorisent l’égalité entre les sexes. Les capacités organisationnelles seront renforcées grâce aux activités suivantes : élaboration d’une stratégie des ressources humaines; création d'un réseau de femmes et d’un conseil consultatif autochtone; élaboration et mise en œuvre d’un cadre de défense des droits et d’une stratégie de financement.
Grâce à ce financement supplémentaire, le West Central Women’s Resource Centre (WCWRC) établira un réseau collaboratif d’organismes au service des personnes 2ELGBTQ+, afin de partager les ressources et de renforcer les capacités. Dans le cadre d’une série de consultations, le WCWRC mobilisera son personnel et sa communauté 2ELGBTQ+ pour améliorer l’inclusion des employées et mieux comprendre comment intégrer l’inclusion des personnes 2ELGBTQ+ à ses activités. En s’appuyant sur les commentaires recueillis lors des réunions du réseau et des consultations menées auprès du personnel, l’organisme examinera ses politiques et procédures, et élaborera un cadre robuste qui accordera la priorité à l’inclusion des personnes 2ELGBTQ+, dans le but global d’offrir un meilleur service à l’ensemble de la communauté.
