Description (French)
Ce projet de 29 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes face aux impacts actuels de la COVID-19 par le biais d’un changement systémique. La Première Nation de Barren Lands y parviendra en réunissant et en mettant en place le Conseil des femmes de Barren Lands qui s’efforcera de répondre aux besoins et de combler les lacunes relevées dans la communauté, en examinant et en adaptant la politique d’emploi, les processus d’embauche et les procédures électorales, et en élaborant des stratégies pour le renforcement du mouvement des femmes de la Première Nation de Barren Lands.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en faisant progresser les politiques et les pratiques inclusives, en encourageant un partage plus équitable et efficace des ressources, en augmentant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, en soutenant une répartition positive de l’autorité, des voix et du pouvoir de décision et en s’attaquant aux normes et aux attitudes sexistes persistantes et nuisibles pour soutenir l’égalité des femmes.
Ce projet réunira des femmes pour former un Conseil de femmes et travaillera avec les femmes, les aînées et aînés et les hommes de la Première Nation de Barren Lands pour aborder et changer les politiques et les procédures au sein de leur communauté afin d’aider les femmes subissant les impacts de la COVID-19 à se rétablir.
