Together, for greater diversity within agricultural bodies

FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-01

Summary
This 30-month project will promote a feminist response to and recovery from the current impact of COVID-19 through systemic change. To achieve this, the Fédération des agricultrices du Québec plans to: analyze systemic barriers and initiate concrete actions to address persistent issues that limit women’s involvement in agricultural bodies; meet with local and specialized unions affiliated with the Union des Producteurs agricoles to understand their specific needs in terms of the systemic changes needed to achieve gender diversity; create interactive tools to raise awareness among current administrators concerning the systemic barriers and persistent stereotypes confronting women; adopt an action plan on diversity and gender to ensure that the actions identified are sustainable; and communicate the issues faced by women by collaborating with regional issue tables. At the end of the project, the organization will have helped address systemic barriers by promoting inclusive policies and practices, by expanding networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, by supporting a positive division of power, the right to speak and decision-making authority, and by changing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes in support of women’s equality. Furthermore, the Fédération des agricultrices du Québec will work with local affiliated unions, develop awareness tools to break persistent stereotypes and educate young people about the history and battles waged by women farmers, develop a guide to inclusive practices and a provincial action plan on gender diversity by the Union des Producteurs Agricoles. It will work with Fierté agricole (LGBTQ2) and the Quebec Farmers' Association to recruit new members and candidates from these organizations. Finally, it will participate in regional issue tables to highlight women’s issues in farming.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 30 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID-19, grâce à des changements systémiques. Pour y parvenir, la Fédération des agricultrices du Québec prévoit : d’analyser les freins systémiques et mettre en branle des actions concrètes afin de contrer les problématiques persistantes limitant l’implication des femmes dans les instances agricoles; rencontrer des syndicats locaux et spécialisés affiliés à l’Union des producteurs agricoles afin de comprendre leurs besoins spécifiques en matière de changements systémiques à implanter pour atteindre la mixité; créer des outils interactifs pour concientiser les administrateurs en poste sur les freins systémiques et les stéréotypes persistants vécus par les femmes; adopter un plan d’action sur la diversité et la mixité afin d’assurer la pérennité des actions cernées; et faire connaitre les enjeux rencontrés par les femmes en collaborant avec les tables de concertations régionales. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à l’élimination d’obstacles systémiques en promouvant des politiques et pratiques inclusives, en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, en soutenant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel et en changeant des normes et attitudes de genre préjudiciables persistantes à l’appui de l’égalité des femmes. De plus, la Fédération des agricultrices du Québec travaillera avec les syndicats locaux affiliés, développera des outils de sensibilisation afin de briser les stéréotypes persistants et éduquer les jeunes sur l'histoire et les batailles menées par les agricultrices, élaborera un guide des pratiques inclusives et un plan d'action provincial en matière de mixité par l’Union des producteurs agricoles. Elle travaillera en collaboration avec la Fierté agricole (LGBTQ2) et Quebec Farmers' Association afin de recruter de nouvelles membres et des candidates auprès de ces organisations. Enfin, elle participera aux tables de concertation régionales afin de faire ressortir les enjeux agricoles féminins.
