Scaling Aftermetoo to Establish Communities of Young Women Advancing Systemic Change

FY 2024-25 · 2024-09-10

Summary
Through this 31-month systemic change project, Aftermetoo will scale its digital platform to advance women’s representation in leadership and decision-making roles, particularly focusing on young women aged 18-34, a group highly vulnerable to gender-based workplace harassment (GBWH). This initiative will expand the reach of the original Aftermetoo digital property, to this younger demographic, addressing their critical needs for support and resources in combatting GBWH. To achieve this, the project will develop and support online communities where young women can exchange resources, learn from shared experiences, and organize for systemic change. Ambassadors with lived experience will provide support and guidance to the communities. Additionally, the project will form partnerships with key stakeholders influencing the systems that impact those experiencing GBWH, aiming to use insights from the affected communities to foster improvements in these systems. With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, Aftermetoo will conduct structured consultations with 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations to better understand the needs of the people they serve and restructure the information it offers for young women and 2SLGBTQIA+ people, so that AI-powered tools can reliably find and share it. This will make reliable information about workplace sexual harassment accessible through AI-mediated search tools, extending its reach to women and 2SLGBTQIA+ people who might otherwise struggle to access it, providing them with the infrastructure to connect, organize, and work toward change. Through this, they will further advance gender equality.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de changement systémique de 31 mois, Aftermetoo amplifiera sa plateforme numérique pour faire progresser la représentation des femmes dans les postes de leadership et de décision, en mettant l’accent sur les jeunes femmes de 18 à 34 ans, un groupe très vulnérable au harcèlement genré en milieu de travail. Cette initiative élargira la portée de la plateforme numérique initiale d’Aftermetoo auprès de ce groupe démographique plus jeune en répondant à leurs besoins essentiels en matière de soutien et de ressources pour contrer le harcèlement genré en milieu de travail. Pour y parvenir, le projet élaborera et soutiendra des communautés en ligne où les jeunes femmes pourront échanger des ressources, apprendre de leurs expériences respectives et se mobiliser pour promouvoir un changement systémique. Les ambassadrices ayant une expérience vécue offriront du soutien et des conseils aux communautés. De plus, le projet établira des partenariats avec des parties prenantes clés ayant une influence sur les systèmes qui affectent les personnes victimes de harcèlement genré en milieu de travail. Cela permettra à l’organisme de tirer parti des perspectives des communautés touchées afin de favoriser des améliorations dans ces systèmes. Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, Aftermetoo mènera des consultations structurées avec des organismes 2ELGBTQIA+ dans le but de mieux comprendre les besoins des personnes qu’elles servent et de réorganiser l’information qu’elle offre aux jeunes femmes et aux personnes 2ELGBTQIA+, afin que les outils alimentés par l’intelligence artificielle (IA) puissent la repérer et la diffuser de façon fiable. Cette initiative rendra accessibles, des renseignements fiables sur le harcèlement sexuel au travail par l’entremise d’outils de recherche assistés par l’IA, en les mettant à la portée des femmes et des personnes 2ELGBTQIA+ qui pourraient autrement avoir de la difficulté à y accéder. Elle leur fournira également les moyens d’interagir, de s’organiser et d’agir pour le changement. Ce faisant, l’organisme contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres.
