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. Prince Albert Metis Women’s Association Inc. y parviendra en déterminant quels sont les obstacles auxquels sont confrontées les femmes, les filles, les personnes 2SLGBGTQ+ et les personnes âgées sous-représentées dans le nord de la Saskatchewan et en faisant la promotion de campagnes de sensibilisation visant à éliminer ces obstacles. Des groupes communautaires seront associés à la réalisation de ce projet à titre de conseillers et de promoteurs des activités. Ils soutiendront les organismes de services à la personne au moyen de recherches et d’analyses centrées sur l’action qui déboucheront sur l’amélioration de la conception, la croissance et la gouvernance des organismes. L’Association déterminera et mettra au point des solutions pour se concentrer sur la création de la réforme, ce qui sera mesuré et suivi au moyen d’une surveillance des nouvelles politiques et pratiques au sein des organismes soutenus. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en faisant progresser les politiques et les pratiques inclusives, en augmentant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, et en soutenant la distribution positive de l’autorité, des voix et du pouvoir de décision pour soutenir l’égalité des femmes. L’Association s’associera à des organismes gouvernementaux pour partager et diffuser les ressources et les outils créés dans le cadre du projet afin de soutenir les organismes communautaires. En outre, les prestataires de soins de santé, les défenseurs de l’économie et les universitaires contribueront à mesurer l’impact des changements de politique, de pratique et de leadership et aideront à quantifier le succès.
