Grâce à ce projet d’une durée de 32 mois, l’organisme Immigrant Women’s Information Network renforcera sa capacité organisationnelle à faire progresser l’égalité des genres. Ce projet s’intéressera à la nécessité d’adopter une approche coordonnée, adaptée à la culture et axée sur la communauté pour contrer la discrimination et la violence fondée sur le sexe dans la communauté sud-asiatique. Il comprendra l’élaboration d’un plan stratégique, la mise en œuvre d’un audit de gouvernance, une évaluation des besoins pour cerner les outils et les ressources propres à la culture, ainsi que des activités d’apprentissage continu et de réseautage pour accroître la capacité sectorielle. Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, l’Immigrant Women’s Information Network établira et mettra en œuvre le réseau des Canadiennes et Canadiens d’origine sud-asiatique pour l’égalité des genres, renforcera la gouvernance organisationnelle et améliorera la prise de décision des conseils d’administration. Ce faisant, l’organisme contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres.
