Description (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois renforcera la capacité organisationnelle de l’organisme Mothers Matter Centre et de ses partenaires afin de mieux servir les femmes isolées et vulnérables à la violence pendant et après la pandémie de la COVID-19. Le projet vise à renforcer la capacité de son personnel à soutenir les femmes réfugiées, immigrantes, autochtones ou sans papier en situation de précarité, particulièrement touchées par la pandémie, afin qu’elle conserve leur accès aux programmes et services essentiels dont elles ont besoin. Pour ce faire, on élaborera un programme de formation novateur, multilingue et respectueux des spécificités culturelles, portant sur la violence. Ce programme sera offert à environ 120 employées d’un bout à l’autre du pays dans le but de leur apprendre à prévenir, repérer et contrer les mauvais traitements. MMC et ses partenaires pourront ainsi offrir des services plus holistiques et faire preuve de plus d’initiative au service des femmes employées dans le cadre du programme et renforceront les capacités grâce à une approche de formation des maîtres.
