A roof of my own: an important step towards autonomy and safety
EF 2021-22 · 2021-09-27
Résumé
This 30-month project will promote a feminist response to and recovery from the current impact of COVID-19 through systemic change. To achieve this goal, Un toit pour elles plans (1) to train a group of women survivors to ensure that their testimonials become a tool for regaining power in order to influence policy governing housing and access to housing by women victims of sexual exploitation; (2) to document and disseminate the specific needs of women and girls victimized by sexual exploitation in housing and in transitional and long-term housing in Greater Montreal and across Quebec, taking into account the impact of the pandemic on them and, more specifically, on racialized and Indigenous women; (3) to develop a space for consultation among key multi-sectoral players for developing joint strategies on access to housing and social housing by women survivors of sexual exploitation; (4) to develop a Quebec model pathway to exiting prostitution, including access to transitional housing with community support to meet the needs of the diverse communities and realities of women and girls across Quebec who want to leave prostitution; and (5) to engage institutional authorities on the specific needs of victims of sexual exploitation as they endeavour to leave prostitution and obtain housing.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed toward addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, and by expanding networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change in support of women’s equality.
The organization will also have co-developed, with the women survivors, a Quebec model pathway for leaving prostitution applicable across Quebec. This model will consider the experience of organizations working with these women and the expertise of the Concertation des lutte contre l’exploitation sexuelle (CLES). By the end of the project, through a partnership with the Office municipal d’habitation and the City of Montréal, accommodation space for women and girls victimized by sexual exploitation in the Metropolitan Montréal area will have increased by 10%.

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 y parvenir, Un toit pour elles prévoit 1) former un groupe de femmes survivantes afin que leurs prises de paroles constituent un outil de reprise de pouvoir capable d’influencer les politiques en matière d’hébergement et l’accès aux logements pour les femmes victimes d’exploitation sexuelle; 2) documenter et diffuser les besoins spécifiques des femmes et des filles victimes d’exploitation sexuelle en matière d’hébergement, de logements transitoires et long terme dans le Grand Montréal et à l’échelle du Québec en tenant compte de l’impact de la pandémie sur elles et tout particulièrement sur les femmes racisées et autochtones; 3) développer un espace de concertation entre des acteurs clés multisectoriels afin de développer des stratégies communes en lien avec l’accès à l’hébergement et au logement social pour les femmes survivantes d’exploitation sexuelle; 4) élaborer un modèle québécois de parcours de sortie de la prostitution incluant l’accès au logement transitoire avec soutien communautaire permettant de répondre aux besoins de diverses communautés et diverses réalités des femmes et des filles à l’échelle du Québec souhaitant sortir de la prostitution et 5) mobiliser les instances institutionnelles aux besoins spécifiques des victimes d’exploitation sexuelle dans leurs processus de sortie de prostitution et d’accès au logement.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à l’élimination d’obstacles systémiques en promouvant des politiques et pratiques inclusives; en favorisant un partage plus efficace et équitable des ressources et en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique à l’appui de l’égalité des femmes.
De plus, l’organisme aura co-construit avec des femmes survivantes un modèle québécois de parcours de sortie de la prostitution applicable à l'échelle du Québec. Ce modèle tiendra compte de l’expérience des organismes intervenant auprès d’elles et de l’expertise de la Concertation des luttes contre l'exploitation sexuelle (CLES). Au terme du projet, grâce à un partenariat avec l’Office municipal d’habitation et la Ville de Montréal, le nombre de places en hébergement pour les femmes et les filles victimes d’exploitation sexuelle dans la région métropolitaine montréalaise aura été augmenté de 10 %.
