Description (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois améliorera l’emploi et l’accès au marché du travail pour les femmes vulnérables et marginalisées. Grâce à la recherche participative et à l’application d’un cadre d’analyse comparative entre les sexes (ACS+), le projet permettra de mieux comprendre les obstacles systémiques auxquels ces femmes font face. Il permettra la détermination de programmes complets d’accès au marché du travail ayant fait leurs preuves et la mise en œuvre à l’échelle nationale de pratiques prometteuses par l’entremise de 20 associations membres. Le projet mobilisera les secteurs public et privé ainsi que la société civile pour instaurer efficacement des mesures et changer les pratiques qui font obstacle à l’autonomisation économique et à la participation des femmes vulnérables et marginalisées.
