Economic Security for Immigrant Women: Collectively addressing biases in hiring pratices
EF 2021-22 · 2021-06-01
Résumé
This 30-month project will advance the economic security and prosperity of immigrant women by identifying and addressing discriminatory hiring practices, biases and other specific barriers that hinder racialized women’s employment opportunities and prevent them from fully and equally participating in Alberta’s employment economy.
Association for the Alberta Network of Immigrant Women will convene a project advisory committee; work in partnership with the University of Calgary and the Alberta Men’s Network; and engage key partners and stakeholders, including immigrant women and human resources allies, to assess and address systemic change issues. Solutions that are informed by the lived experiences of racialized women will be identified and documented to contribute to a media campaign strategy. Best practices will be reviewed, and final recommendations for policy change initiatives to eliminate barriers, including a hiring model, will be advocated and shared via social media to move equitable hiring practices forward.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 30 mois fera progresser la sécurité et la prospérité économiques des immigrantes en identifiant et en luttant contre les pratiques d'embauche discriminatoires, les préjugés et d'autres obstacles spécifiques qui entravent les possibilités d'emploi des femmes racialisées et qui les empêchent de participer pleinement et également à l'économie de l'emploi en Alberta.
L'Association for the Alberta Network of Immigrant Women réunira un comité consultatif de projet, collaborera avec l'Université de Calgary et l'Alberta Men’s Network et mobilisera des partenaires et parties prenantes clés, y compris des immigrantes et des ressources humaines alliées, afin d'évaluer les questions de changement systémique et de les résoudre. Des solutions éclairées par les expériences vécues par les femmes racialisées seront déterminées et consignées pour contribuer à la stratégie de campagne dans les médias. Un examen des pratiques exemplaires sera réalisé et des recommandations finales d'initiatives de changement de politique pour éliminer les obstacles, dont un modèle d'embauche, seront préconisées et partagées dans les médias sociaux afin de promouvoir des pratiques d'embauche équitables.
Expected Results
Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
Expected Results (French)
