Our Kitchens, Our Foods: A food sector systems change initiative supporting immigrant and racialized women
FY 2021-22 · 2021-12-13
Summary
This 28-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. caterToronto will achieve this by: working with community-based researchers to engage racialized and immigrant women at all levels of the food industry across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Areas, to examine the issues and barriers they face and make recommendations for systemic change; compiling the findings in a report and presenting it at a multi-stakeholder conference; and informing working groups from priority neighbourhoods to help them develop action plans to implement the findings. Monitoring and evaluation of the success of various activities will be conducted by a third-party evaluator in the form of surveys contributing to the final report.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by: advancing inclusive policies and practices; encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources; increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change; supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power; and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 28 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID-19, grâce à des changements systémiques. L’organisme caterToronto réalisera le projet en collaborant avec des chercheuses et chercheurs communautaires pour mobiliser des femmes racisées et immigrantes œuvrant à tous les niveaux de l’industrie alimentaire dans les régions du grand Toronto et de Hamilton en vue d’examiner les problèmes et les obstacles auxquels elles font face et de formuler des recommandations visant des changements systémiques. Ensuite, l’organisme compilera les conclusions dans un rapport et les présentera dans le cadre d’une conférence multilatérale. Enfin, il informera les groupes de travail des quartiers prioritaires pour les aider à élaborer des plans d’action pour la mise en œuvre des conclusions. Le suivi et l’évaluation de la réussite des diverses activités seront effectués par une entreprise d’évaluation indépendante à l’aide de sondages qui seront intégrés au rapport final.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en favorisant un partage plus efficace et équitable des ressources, en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, en soutenant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel, et en s’attaquant aux normes et aux attitudes nuisibles persistantes en matière de genre pour promouvoir l’égalité des femmes.
Expected Results
Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
Expected Results (French)
Les femmes et les parties prenantes peuvent obtenir de l’aide pour traiter des enjeux liés à l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes.
