Alberta Equity: A Pro-Choice Initiative

FY 2024-25 · 2024-07-09

Summary
Through this 33-month systemic change project, Pro-Choice Society of Lethbridge & Southern Alberta will scale Covid-19 Reproductive Rights Response to advance women’s economic security and prosperity. It will scale by focusing on geographical expansion, information dissemination, physician support, and educational outreach. To do so, the project will work to bolster the capacity of other Pro-Choice organizations, conduct network building activities, support physicians and healthcare providers through consultations and by facilitating training, and expand their educational outreach by building partnerships, public presentations, and community training sessions. By the end of the project the organization will have addressed healthcare providers' and volunteer organizations' lack of capacity while increasing information dissemination and service access for those in need by evaluating and strategizing intersecting factors that prevent women's full bodily autonomy. With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, the Pro-Choice Society of Lethbridge & Southern Alberta will enhance volunteer education and coordination, develop and deliver consent-based sex education for services that support youth in Southern Alberta and deliver student reproductive health training and expand the network of service providers. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet de changement systémique de 33 mois, la Pro-Choice Society of Lethbridge & Southern Alberta intensifiera les interventions en matière de droits génésiques liées à la COVID-19 afin de promouvoir la sécurité économique et la prospérité des femmes. Cette intensification sera réalisée en mettant l’accent sur l’expansion géographique, la diffusion de l’information, le soutien des médecins et la sensibilisation. Pour ce faire, le projet renforcera la capacité d’autres organismes pro-choix, mènera des activités de création de réseaux, soutiendra les médecins et les prestataires de soins de santé dans le cadre de consultations et de formations, et élargira les activités de sensibilisation en établissant des partenariats, en présentant des exposés publics et en organisant des séances de formation communautaires. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura réglé le problème posé par le manque de capacité des prestataires de soins de santé et des organismes bénévoles, en plus d’accroître la diffusion de l’information et l’accès aux services pour les personnes dans le besoin en évaluant et en adoptant des stratégies relatives aux facteurs croisés qui empêchent les femmes d’atteindre la pleine autonomie corporelle. Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, l’organisme Pro-Choice Society of Lethbridge & Southern Alberta améliorera l’éducation et la coordination des bénévoles, élaborera et offrira une éducation sexuelle basée sur le consentement pour les services qui soutiennent les jeunes du sud de l’Alberta, offrira une formation en santé reproductive aux élèves et élargira le réseau de prestataires de services. Ce faisant, l’organisme contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres.
