Summary
This 31-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Women’s Network PEI will achieve this by enhancing collaboration across women’s and feminist organizations in Prince Edward Island on issues related to gender equality. The organization will create a Feminist Activism Committee to identify priority and emergent needs to be addressed collectively, will create an Action Plan that will guide the work of the committee, and will sustain partnerships with stakeholders and decision makers to initiate calls to action. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, and by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women’s equality. Partners involved in the committee are well known to the organization and represent a variety of groups in Prince Edward Island. This project will bring together self-identified women leaders in nonprofit organizations to work collaboratively to enhance their ability to advocate for systemic change regarding policies and procedures that impact them. Women’s Network PEI will aim to maintain the Feminist Activism Committee beyond the length of the project and build up membership for maximal impact.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 31 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID 19, grâce à des changements systémiques. Pour ce faire, Women’s Network PEI renforcera la collaboration entre les organismes féministes et les organismes de femmes de l’Île du Prince Édouard sur les enjeux liés à l’égalité des genres. L’organisme mettra sur pied un comité d’activisme féministe chargé de cerner les besoins prioritaires et émergents à combler collectivement, il élaborera un plan d’action pour orienter les travaux du comité, et il maintiendra des partenariats avec les parties prenantes et les décideuses et décideurs pour lancer des appels à l’action. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en encourageant un partage plus équitable et plus efficace des ressources et en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer un changement systémique favorable à l’égalité des femmes. L’organisme connaît bien les partenaires qui participent au comité; ils représentent divers groupes de l’Île du Prince Édouard. Ce projet permettra de réunir des femmes déclarant être des dirigeantes dans leaders s’identifiant comme femmes au sein des organismes sans but lucratif pour travailler en collaboration afin d’améliorer leur capacité à promouvoir un changement systémique en ce qui concerne les politiques et les procédures qui les touchent. Women’s Network PEI visera à maintenir en place le comité d’activisme féministe après la fin du projet et à recruter des membres pour maximiser les répercussions du comité.
