Description (French)
Grâce à des changements systémiques, ce projet de 29 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID‑19. Pour réaliser le projet, la Central Okanagan Emergency Shelter Society élargira un programme d’apprentissage sur l’intervention précoce auprès des jeunes conçu pour prévenir les effets de la violence fondée sur le sexe et de la violence familiale et rompre le cycle de la violence.
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 s’attaquant aux normes et aux attitudes préjudiciables persistantes en matière de genre pour appuyer l’égalité des femmes, et en soutenant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel.
