Fighting Misogyny and Stereotypes against Racialized Women and Girls in Toronto (Fighting Misogyny).

EF 2021-22 · 2021-10-01

Résumé
This 18-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change. This will be achieved by creating safe spaces to empower 30 racialized women and girls in Toronto east impacted by COVID-19 to become feminist leaders; raising public awareness on the impact of misogyny and gender stereotypes on women’s rights through forum meetings with participants, community leaders and policy makers, a media and social media campaign; and by holding organized dialogues with local MPs, MPPs, City Councillors, and School Trustees. This will lead to positive changes in the attitudes and beliefs of Torontonians; promotion of leadership and equal participation in family, workplace, and community life; an increased leadership role for affected women in challenging misogyny and gender stereotypes; and an expanded role for community women leaders in shaping pandemic recovery responses. The organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by developing networks and collaborations, supporting positive distribution of authority, voice and decision-making, and changing norms and attitudes to support women’s equality. The project will directly benefit 300 racialized women and girls mostly from low-income South Asian communities and indirectly benefit over 20,000 people through media and social media campaigns. Bangladeshi-Canadian Community Services will collaborate with Access Alliance Multicultural Health and Community Services and Council of Agencies Serving South Asians to deliver this project.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 18 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID 19 grâce à des changements systémiques. Pour le réaliser, l’organisme créera des espaces sécuritaires où 30 femmes et filles racisées de l’est de Toronto touchées par la COVID-19 pourront devenir des leaders féministes; sensibilisera le public à l’incidence de la misogynie et des stéréotypes sexistes sur les droits des femmes au moyen de forums avec des participantes, des leaders communautaires et des décisionnaires et d’une campagne dans les médias et les médias sociaux. L’organisme organisera aussi des rencontres avec des parlementaires fédéraux et provinciaux et des membres de conseils municipaux et de conseils scolaires locaux. Cela se traduira par des changements positifs dans les attitudes et les croyances de la population de Toronto; par la promotion du leadership et de la participation égale à la vie familiale, professionnelle et communautaire; par un rôle accru de direction par les femmes touchées qui luttent contre la misogynie et les stéréotypes sexistes; et par un plus grand rôle des dirigeantes communautaires dans l’élaboration des mesures de relance après la pandémie. L’organisme contribuera à l’élimination les obstacles systémiques en établissant des réseaux et des mécanismes de collaboration, en favorisant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel, et en modifiant les normes et les attitudes pour favoriser l’égalité des femmes. Le projet profitera directement à 300 femmes et filles racisées provenant principalement de communautés sud-asiatiques à faible revenu, et profitera indirectement à plus de 20 000 personnes grâce à des campagnes dans les médias et les médias sociaux. Les Bangladeshi-Canadian Community Services collaboreront avec les Access Alliance Multicultural Health and Community Services et le Council of Agencies Serving South Asians pour réaliser ce projet.
