Description (French)
Ce projet de 30 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID-19, grâce à des changements systémiques. Pour y parvenir, Oasis Centre des Femmes Inc. prévoit (1) rechercher et collecter des données sur la violence vécue par les femmes immigrantes et réfugiées francophones durant la pandémie; (2) élaborer et mettre en œuvre une stratégie de partage des résultats; et (3) consolider et mettre en œuvre les capacités de démarchage des femmes leaders communautaires auprès d’instances décisionnelles provinciales et fédérales.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à l’élimination d’obstacles systémiques en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique; et en soutenant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel à l’appui de l’égalité des femmes.
Dans le cadre de ce projet, des organisations partenaires œuvrant auprès des femmes immigrantes et réfugiées francophones seront impliquées afin de collaborer au recrutement des participantes aux entrevues et aux groupes-focus, au partage des données statistiques et à l’analyse et à la validation des données recueillies en vue d’émettre des recommandations de mesures à mettre en place en situations d’urgence.

Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
