Description (French)
Ce projet, d’une durée de 30 mois, soutiendra une réponse et une relance féministes pour contrer les répercussions actuelles de la COVID-19, au moyen d’un changement systémique. La Newfoundland and Labrador Organization of Women Entrepreneurs, Inc (NLOWE) y parviendra en examinant et en modifiant les politiques et les pratiques inadéquates aux échelons organisationnel et sectoriel, en effectuant une évaluation des besoins et une analyse des compétences, en engageant des réseaux et des partenaires pour contribuer à la campagne d’éducation et de sensibilisation, ainsi qu’en élaborant et en fournissant une trousse à outils sur la diversité des genres. NLOWE encouragera également les jeunes femmes et les jeunes filles des zones rurales, y compris les femmes vivant avec un handicap, à accéder à des postes de direction et de décision, notamment à des postes de cadres supérieurs et de directeurs de conseil d’administration. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à lever les obstacles systémiques en faisant progresser les politiques et les pratiques inclusives et en augmentant les réseaux et la collaboration afin d’accélérer le changement systémique pour soutenir l’égalité des femmes. NLOWE s’associera au secteur privé, aux associations industrielles et aux municipalités, ainsi qu’à Inclusion NL et à l’Economic Developers Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (EDANL), pour créer un changement systémique par l’élaboration de politiques, et de pratiques et politiques organisationnelles.
