Adapting and Accelerating Intersectional Feminist Law Reform for a Post-COVID-19 Future
FY 2021-22 · 2021-08-04
Summary
Through this 34-month project, NAWL will work to advance women’s response and recovery from the impacts of COVID-19 through systemic feminist law reform. Objectives will be achieved by a combination of key activities, including: supporting and advancing intersectional feminist law reform engagement by women’s movements, organizations, lawyers and emerging law reformers; increasing NAWL’s online and social media advocacy and influence by creating and deploying proactive and timely content; bolstering
the network of feminist law reform alliances and coalitions through coalition building, including building a multi-disciplinary network of feminist legal experts; and directly undertaking proactive and reactive feminist law reform activities to promote systemic change, firmly rooted in substantive equality. Building on their respective areas of expertise, NAWL and its collaborators will focus their post-pandemic efforts on both process-driven and substantive law reform activities. For instance, as outlined above, NAWL will work in close collaboration with Luke’s Place on family law and other VAW reform efforts. NAWL will also prioritize expanding its law reform tools, particularly its FLR101 resources, to include provincial/territorial advocacy content, with LEAF becoming a primary potential user in the context of their proposed WAGE project on advancing reproductive justice.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet d’une durée de 34 mois, l’Association nationale Femmes et Droit (ANFD) s’efforcera de faire progresser la réponse des femmes et leur rétablissement face aux répercussions de la COVID-19 grâce à une réforme législative féministe systémique. Les objectifs seront atteints grâce à une combinaison d’activités clés, dont les suivantes : soutenir et faire progresser l’engagement intersectionnel en faveur de la réforme du droit féministe par l’intermédiaire de mouvements et d’organismes de femmes, d’avocats et de réformateurs du droit émergents; accroître le plaidoyer et l’influence de l’ANFD en ligne et sur les médias sociaux en créant et en déployant un contenu proactif et opportun; renforcer le réseau d’alliances et de coalitions pour la réforme du droit féministe en créant des coalitions, entre autres en créant un réseau multidisciplinaire de juristes féministes; et entreprendre directement des activités proactives et réactives de réforme du droit féministe pour promouvoir un changement systémique, fermement ancré dans l’égalité réelle. En s’appuyant sur leurs domaines d’expertise respectifs, l’ANFD et ses collaborateurs concentreront leurs efforts post-pandémiques sur des activités de réforme du droit axées sur les processus et sur le fond. Par exemple, tel qu’il est indiqué ci-dessus, l’ANFD travaillera en étroite collaboration avec le Luke’s Place au droit de la famille et à d’autres efforts de réforme de la violence à l’égard des femmes. L’ANFD accordera également la priorité à l’expansion de ses outils de réforme du droit, en particulier ses ressources FLR101, pour inclure du contenu de plaidoyer provincial/territorial, le Fonds d’action et d’éducation juridiques (LEAF) devenant un principal utilisateur potentiel dans le contexte de sa proposition de projet FEGC sur l’avancement de la justice reproductive.
