Program Purpose (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois améliorera l’expérience vécue par les femmes dans le système juridique du Yukon. Grâce à la collaboration avec les principales parties prenantes, le projet réduira le nombre de cas d’agression sexuelle mal classifiés et le nombre d’accusations d’agression sexuelle non portées devant les tribunaux. De plus, il examinera les raisons du faible taux de condamnation et du taux croissant d’appels fructueux au Yukon. Les intervenantes et intervenants apporteront des changements aux politiques et aux programmes de leurs propres organisations, détermineront les secteurs qui influeront sur les changements à l’échelle du territoire et communiqueront les constatations aux autres territoires du Nord.
