He for She: Fostering Positive Masculinity Across Cultures

FY 2024-25 · 2024-06-17

Summary
Through this 33-month systemic change project, the Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers within the androcentric structures of settlement and integration services offered by settlement agencies throughout British Columbia by offering a train-the-trainer program whereby immigrant, newcomer and refugee (INR) men adopt positive masculinity practices and reduce the presence of harmful gender stereotypes that inhibit INR women from participating in family unit decision-making roles. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project. Supplemental funding in February 2026 will be used to produce high-quality video content to enhance the project curriculum.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de changement systémique de 33 mois, la Inter Cultural Association of Greater Victoria contribuera à faire progresser la sécurité économique et la prospérité des femmes par le biais d’un changement systémique. Plus précisément, le projet s’attaquera aux obstacles systémiques dans les structures androcentriques des services d’établissement et d’intégration offerts par les organismes d’établissement dans l’ensemble de la Colombie Britannique, par l’exécution d’un programme de formation des formatrices et formateurs dans le cadre duquel les hommes immigrants, nouveaux arrivants et réfugiés (INR) adoptent des pratiques de masculinité positive et réduisent la présence des stéréotypes sexistes nuisibles qui empêchent les femmes INR de participer au processus décisionnel au sein de l’unité familiale. Une évaluatrice ou un évaluateur externe mesurera et évaluera l’impact de ce projet de changement systémique. Le financement supplémentaire de février 2026 servira à la production de contenu vidéo de haute qualité afin d’enrichir le programme pédagogique du projet.
