Mapping Our Future: A 10-year Vision for Change for Women with Disabilities
FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-11
Summary
This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. DAWN Canada will achieve this by addressing discriminatory legislation, policies, and/or practices that prevent women and/or girls from fully participating in the social, political and economic spheres. This project will build relationships between equality seeking organizations and other stakeholders to collaborate across sectors to advance gender equality as well as convene and strengthen the feminist movement to collaboratively advance gender equality.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women’s equality.
This project will use a cross-disability, feminist and intersectional framework to center women with disabilities in a feminist recovery. This will be done by convening a broad cross section of stakeholders to identify, prioritize and respond in a unified voice to key policy and service delivery gaps that result in the exclusion of women with disabilities from Canada’s socio-economic life. The project will focus on economic inclusion in Ontario and Quebec, and Gender-Based Violence in the Atlantic and Prairie regions.
As a result of this project, it is expected that women with disabilities will set the stage to map the future development of federal and provincial policy and program responses related to a feminist social and economic recovery, and that women with disabilities will be centered in the design of Canada’s National Action Plan on Gender Based Violence. This project will set the stage for the next decade of broad-based cross-sectoral collaboration to respond to the systemic exclusion of women living in Canada with disabilities.

Description (French)
Ce projet d’une durée de 29 mois soutiendra une réponse et une relance féministes pour atténuer les répercussions actuelles de la pandémie de COVID-19 grâce à un changement systémique. Le RAFH du Canada y parviendra en s’attaquant aux lois, politiques et/ou pratiques discriminatoires qui empêchent les femmes et/ou les filles de participer pleinement aux sphères sociale, politique et économique. Ce projet permettra d’établir des relations entre les organismes de promotion de l’égalité et d’autres parties prenantes afin de collaborer entre les secteurs pour faire progresser l’égalité entre les sexes, ainsi que de réunir et de renforcer le mouvement féministe afin de faire progresser l’égalité entre les sexes en collaboration.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à lever les obstacles systémiques en faisant progresser les politiques et les pratiques inclusives et en augmentant les réseaux et la collaboration afin d’accélérer le changement systémique pour soutenir l’égalité des femmes.
Ce projet utilisera un cadre inter-handicap, féministe et intersectionnel pour centrer les femmes en situation de handicap dans un rétablissement féministe. Il s’agira de réunir un large éventail de parties prenantes afin d’identifier, de prioriser et de répondre d’une seule voix aux principales lacunes en matière de politiques et de prestation de services qui entraînent l’exclusion des femmes en situation de handicap de la vie socio-économique du Canada. Le projet se concentrera sur l’inclusion économique en Ontario et au Québec, et sur la violence liée au genre dans les régions de l’Atlantique et des Prairies.
Grâce à ce projet, on s’attend à ce que les femmes handicapées ouvrent la voie à l’élaboration future des politiques et des programmes fédéraux et provinciaux liés à une reprise sociale et économique féministe, et à ce que les femmes en situation de handicap soient au cœur de la conception du Plan d’action national du Canada contre la violence faite aux femmes. Ce projet ouvrira la voie à la prochaine décennie de collaboration intersectorielle à grande échelle pour répondre à l’exclusion systémique des femmes en situation de handicap vivant au Canada.
Expected Results
Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
Expected Results (French)
Les femmes et les parties prenantes peuvent obtenir de l’aide pour traiter des enjeux liés à l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes.
