Quebec municipalities inclusive of LGBTQ2 women

FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-01

Summary
This 27-month project will support a feminist response to and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic changes. To achieve this, the Conseil québécois LGBT intends to raise awareness and advise Quebec municipalities in developing and implementing inclusive practices that allow LGBTQ2 women to access municipal services in a way that sufficiently responds to their realities. It will also offer municipalities all the tools they need to develop human resource policies that promote the recruitment and inclusion of LGBTQ2 women, and it will equip LGBTQ2 organizations to be able to establish firm, lasting partnerships with their municipalities by investing in the creation of a toolkit that is adaptable to the issues specific to particular regions. By the end of the project, the organization aims to have helped remove systemic barriers by promoting inclusive policies and practices; by enabling more fair and efficient resource sharing; by enhancing networks for collaboration to expedite systemic change; by addressing harmful norms and attitudes that persist on gender; and by supporting a positive distribution of power, the right to speak, and decision-making authority in support of women’s equality. More specifically, this project aims to support LGBTQ2 women’s involvement in municipal bodies and spaces, especially outside of major urban centres. To do this, the organization will collaborate with its partners to develop a best practices guide for municipalities, inspired by success stories from here and elsewhere, in order to encourage municipalities to remove systemic barriers discouraging LGBTQ2 women from participating fully in democratic, economic, and social life within their living environment.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 27 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID-19, grâce à des changements systémiques. Pour y parvenir, Conseil québécois LGBT prévoit de sensibiliser et d’accompagner les milieux municipaux québécois vers le développement et la mise en œuvre de pratiques inclusives permettant l’accès pour les femmes LGBTQ2 aux services municipaux d’une façon qui réponde adéquatement à leurs réalités, de proposer aux municipalités tous les outils nécessaires pour développer des politiques de ressources humaines favorisant le recrutement et l’inclusion des femmes LGBTQ2, et d’outiller les organismes à mission LGBTQ2 afin de leur permettre d’établir des partenariats durables et solides avec leurs municipalités, en misant sur la création d’une trousse adaptable aux enjeux spécifiques de leurs régions. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à l’élimination d’obstacles systémiques en promouvant des politiques et pratiques inclusives, en favorisant un partage plus efficace et équitable des ressources, en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, en changeant les normes et attitudes de genre préjudiciables persistantes et en soutenant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel à l’appui de l’égalité des femmes. Plus spécifiquement, le projet vise à soutenir la présence des femmes LGBTQ2 dans les instances et lieux municipaux, particulièrement hors des grands centres urbains. Pour ce faire, l’organisme en collaboration avec ses partenaires, développera un guide de bonnes pratiques municipales, inspiré des bons coups d’ici ou d’ailleurs, pour inciter les municipalités à mettre fin aux obstacles systémiques qui découragent les femmes LGBTQ2 de participer pleinement à la vie démocratique, économique et sociale de leur milieu de vie.
