Description (French)
Ce projet d’une durée de 29 mois soutiendra une réponse et une relance féministes, à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID-19, grâce à un changement systémique. Le North End Women’s Centre y parviendra en élaborant, en intégrant et en mettant en œuvre de nouvelles politiques et procédures inclusives grâce à un cadre de décolonisation et de lutte contre l’oppression. Il collaborera avec des partenaires par l’intermédiaire d’une communauté de pratique pour appuyer l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre de politiques et de pratiques anti-oppressives et décolonisantes; il donnera une visibilité accrue à l’expérience vécue par les femmes autochtones, les femmes racisées, les nouvelles arrivantes, les femmes LGBTQ2+ et les personnes marginalisées, grâce à la création d’un comité consultatif ainsi que d’un programme de mentorat axé sur l’expérience vécue au sein de la communauté de pratique. De plus, il offrira une formation sur la lutte contre l’oppression et la communication avec les médias à l’échelle de l’organisme, qui aura pour effet de multiplier les déclarations aux médias et d’agir en faveur de changements aboutissant à l’élimination des préjugés sexistes systémiques dans les messages diffusés. À la fin du projet, l’organisation aura contribué à éliminer des obstacles systémiques en faisant adopter des politiques et des pratiques inclusives, en favorisant une répartition des ressources plus équitable et efficace, en renforçant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, en soutenant la répartition positive des pouvoirs, y compris décisionnels, et la multiplicité des points de vue, et en s’attaquant aux normes et attitudes préjudiciables et persistantes relatives aux genres pour promouvoir l’égalité des femmes. Par l’intermédiaire d’une communauté de pratique, le North End Women’s Centre travaillera avec divers partenaires, dont le West Central Women’s Resource Centre, le Manitoba Harm Reduction Network, le Rainbow Resource Centre, l’Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization of Manitoba et Ka Ni Kanichihk. L’organisme travaillera également avec Health in Common pour élaborer et mettre en œuvre un cadre d’évaluation dans le contexte de son projet.
