FY 2026-27 · 2026-08-14

Summary
Through this 23‑month project, Oxfam-Québec will advance gender equality across Quebec. The project will focus on investments in a decarbonized economy that supports female-dominated sectors. To achieve this, the organization will collect data and develop a methodological framework to assess the economic transition through a care and gender lens. Oxfam Québec will convene meetings to validate progress and findings, adjust strategic directions, jointly determine priorities, and collaboratively develop feminist and ecological policy recommendations. It will work with organizations, community groups, and public institutions to support workshops, knowledge dissemination, and advocacy efforts. The organization will also develop an experimental indicator to measure the contribution of care work to the Canadian economy. Building on this work, it will create an accessible guide, summary fact sheets, and visual tools to facilitate understanding and uptake by the public, elected officials, and other decision-makers. Finally, Oxfam-Québec will carry out engagement activities with public-sector stakeholders to support the integration of the project’s findings into public policy.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de 23 mois, Oxfam Québec fera progresser l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes à travers le Québec. Ce projet portera sur les investissements pour une économie décarbonée qui soutient les secteurs à prédominance féminine. Pour ce faire, l’organisme récoltera des données et élaborera un cadre méthodologique permettant d’évaluer la transition économique sous l’angle du soin et du genre. Il animera des rencontres pour valider l’avancement et les constats, ajuster les orientations, codécider des priorités et élaborer collectivement des recommandations politiques féministes et écologiques. Il collaborera avec des organismes, des milieux communautaires et des instances publics pour soutenir les ateliers, la diffusion et le plaidoyer. Il développera un indicateur expérimental mesurant la contribution du travail de soin à l'économie canadienne. Il enchaînera avec la création d’un guide accessible ainsi que de fiches synthétiques et d’outils visuels pour faciliter la compréhension et l’appropriation tant du public que des élu·es et autres décideur·euses. Puis, il mènera des activités d’engagement auprès d’acteurs publics pour préparer l’intégration des résultats dans les politiques publiques.
