Description (French)
Ce projet de 24 mois s’attaquera aux obstacles à l’emploi auxquels font face les femmes autochtones, en adoptant une perspective sur les genres adaptée à leur culture qui tiendra compte des femmes autochtones et trans, et des personnes non binaires et bispirituelles. Un programme de formation communautaire sera mis au point afin que les employeuses, employeurs et personnes qui occupent un poste de direction dans les secteurs public et privé puissent apprendre à poser un regard critique sur leur structure organisationnelle et à repérer les barrières systémiques à la sécurité économique des femmes autochtones dans leur milieu de travail. Le projet propose en outre la création de programmes pour les femmes autochtones et les personnes non binaires et bispirituelles en milieu de travail comme solution durable aux barrières les plus courantes.
