Reweaving Support - A Feminist Social Safety Net For Manitoba

FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-08

Summary
This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Women Healing for Change MB Inc. will achieve this by establishing a participatory action research project, which will include building on provincial networks to consolidate policy and program analysis utilizing a GBA+ lens. The intention is to reweave and transform the Manitoba social safety net. A transformation action strategy will be developed collaboratively with stakeholders in 5 social policy areas. The organization will work with government officials, political leaders, unions, and other stakeholders to build agreement and implementation on a shared vision for a COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 social safety net for Manitoba. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices; increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change; supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power; and addressing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality. Key partners will include Fearless R2W and West Central Women’s Resource Centre, amongst others. Additional networks and coalitions will be engaged in each of the five areas to support the transformation of the social safety net, including the development of the action strategy.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 30 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes face aux impacts actuels de la COVID-19, par le biais d’un changement systémique. Women Healing for Change MB Inc. y parviendra en établissant un projet de recherche-action, qui comprendra la mise à profit des réseaux provinciaux pour renforcer l’analyse des politiques et des programmes en utilisant une lentille ACS plus. L’intention est de retisser et de transformer le filet de sécurité sociale du Manitoba. Une stratégie d’action de transformation sera élaborée en collaboration avec les parties intéressées de cinq domaines de la politique sociale. L’organisme travaillera avec des représentantes et représentants du gouvernement, des dirigeantes et dirigeants politiques, des syndicats et d’autres parties prenantes afin de parvenir à un accord et à une mise en œuvre d’une vision commune d’un filet de sécurité sociale COVID-19 et post-COVID-19 pour le Manitoba. 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, en soutenant une répartition positive de l’autorité, des voix et du pouvoir de décision, et en s’attaquant aux normes et aux attitudes persistantes et nuisibles liées au genre pour soutenir l’égalité des femmes. Les partenaires clés seront, entre autres, Fearless R2W et le West Central Women’s Resource Centre. D’autres réseaux et coalitions seront mis à contribution dans chacun des cinq domaines pour soutenir la transformation du filet de sécurité sociale, ce qui comprend l’élaboration de la stratégie d’action.
