FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-13

Summary
This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Interval House of Hamilton will achieve this by building and expanding partnerships with the Hamilton public school boards and private schools, the local sports community, and McMaster University to formalize their commitment to engage with men and boys to address gender-based violence (GBV) in the Hamilton area. This work will be supported by scaling-up and launching the ‘Be More Than A Bystander’ initiative, developing and piloting a community and campus Anti-Violence Strategy, and scaling-up and launching the ‘Steel City Allies’ campaign. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes, advancing inclusive policies and practices, and increasing networks and collaboration to support women’s equality. Interval House of Hamilton will work with partners, including Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board, McMaster University, Healthy Youth Network, Hamilton Tiger Cats, Forge FC, Hamilton Bulldogs, and SportHamilton. These partners will support training, community engagement, awareness raising and policy and program changes that will ensure that progress on preventing and addressing GBV in the Hamilton area is not rolled back as a result of the pandemic.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 30 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID 19 grâce à des changements systémiques. Pour ce faire, Interval House de Hamilton établira de nouveaux partenariats et étendra les partenariats existants avec les conseils scolaires publics et les écoles privées de Hamilton, les associations sportives locales et l’Université McMaster; cela, de manière à formaliser son engagement à mobiliser les hommes et les garçons pour contrer la violence fondée sur le sexe et le genre (VFS) dans la région de Hamilton. Elle implantera à grande échelle l’initiative « Be More Than A Bystander », qui a pour objet de promouvoir l’intervention des tiers et témoins, et étendra l’appel à l’action « Steel City Allies » en plus de concevoir une stratégie, de lutte contre les violences à caractère sexuel dans les campus et la collectivité, qu’elle mettra ensuite à l’essai. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer des obstacles systémiques qui découlent de normes et comportement nuisibles et persistants en matière de genre; il aura contribué à l’adoption de politiques ou pratiques plus inclusives et renforcé la concertation dans les dossiers se rapportant sur l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes. Interval House de Hamilton travaillera avec des partenaires, dont le conseil scolaire du district de Hamilton-Wentworth, le conseil des écoles catholiques du district de Hamilton-Wentworth, l’Université McMaster, le réseau Healthy Youth, les Tiger Cats de Hamilton, le club Forge FC, les Bulldogs de Hamilton et SportHamilton. Ces partenaires appuieront la formation, la mobilisation et la sensibilisation du milieu ainsi que la modification des politiques et programmes, de sorte que les progrès réalisés dans la région de Hamilton au sujet de la lutte contre la VFS ne soient pas perdus à cause de la pandémie.
