Description (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois augmentera les possibilités d’accès à des postes de responsabilité et de participation pour les jeunes femmes dans l’arène politique par la mobilisation d’un grand nombre d’élues et d’élus et de leurs institutions politiques. Il sensibilisera davantage les nouvelles dirigeantes à la diversité de parcours des femmes au Canada et mettra en lumière les avancées politiques réalisées jusqu’à présent ainsi que les défis importants qui subsistent. Le projet aura ainsi recours à une approche anti-oppression afin d’instaurer l’équité dans la représentation et la participation. Les jeunes femmes seront outillées pour diriger les actions de revendication dans leurs collectivités et faire progresser la participation socio-économique et démocratique des femmes par le biais d’initiatives communautaires destinées aux femmes.
