Advancing Indigenous Women’s Safety in Ottawa

EF 2021-22 · 2022-02-07

Résumé
This 26-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change. The Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition and the 10 member organizations, including Minwashiin Lodge, will achieve this by establishing an Indigenous Women’s Safety Table (IWST) in the City of Ottawa that will seek to address systemic issues that make Indigenous women unsafe and vulnerable. In addition to the establishment of the Main Table, four workgroups will be established to advocate for systemic change that will reduce Indigenous women’s vulnerability which has been further exposed during COVID. The four systems that the IWST will be focusing on is: Policing, Mental Health and Addictions, Residential services and Housing and Homelessness and the organization will design, disseminate and promote resources and key recommendations for policy and programs to address Indigenous Women’s safety at the organizational and sectoral levels in the city of Ottawa. 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 and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 26 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID 19 grâce à des changements systémiques. La Coalition autochtone d'Ottawa et les dix organisations membres, dont le Minwashiin Lodge, y parviendront en créant une Table sur la sécurité des femmes autochtones (TSIA) dans la ville d'Ottawa, qui cherchera à résoudre les problèmes systémiques qui rendent les femmes autochtones non sécuritaires et vulnérables. Le groupe aura pour but de régler les problèmes systémiques qui sont facteurs de danger et de vulnérabilité pour les femmes autochtones. Outre la table de discussion principale, quatre groupes de travail seront mis en place pour promouvoir des changements systémiques qui réduiront la vulnérabilité des femmes autochtones, qui a encore été mise en évidence lors du COVID. Les quatre systèmes sur lesquels l'IWST se concentrera sont : les services de police, les services de santé mentale et de lutte contre les dépendances, les services résidentiels et les services liés au logement et à l’itinérance. L’organisme concevra, diffusera et fera connaître des ressources et des recommandations clés en matière de politiques et de programmes visant à assurer la sécurité des femmes autochtones aux niveaux organisationnel et sectoriel de la ville d’Ottawa. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en promouvant des politiques et pratiques inclusives, en encourageant un partage plus équitable et efficace des ressources , et en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique.
