Résumé
This 27-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Yellowknife Women’s Society will achieve this by conducting research to identify the current problems in the relationship between street-involved Indigenous women and the RCMP; conducting surveys, interviews and hosting focus groups with Indigenous women and girls; developing a final report of recommendations; and begin implementing and assessing the next steps to end gender-based violence.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.

Description (French)
Ce projet d’une durée de 27 mois soutiendra une réponse et une relance féministes, à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID-19, grâce à un changement systémique. La Yellowknife Women’s Society y parviendra en menant des recherches pour cerner les problèmes actuels dans les relations entre les femmes autochtones de la rue et la GRC; en menant des sondages, des entrevues et en animant des groupes de discussion avec des femmes et des filles autochtones; en élaborant un rapport final de recommandations et en commençant à mettre en œuvre et à évaluer les prochaines étapes pour mettre fin à la violence fondée sur le sexe.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en favorisant l’adoption de politiques et de pratiques inclusives, en renforçant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, en soutenant la répartition positive de l’autorité, des voix et du pouvoir décisionnel et en s’attaquant aux normes et attitudes de genre préjudiciables et persistantes, pour promouvoir l’égalité des femmes.
