Pandemic Recovery for Highly Impacted Communities

EF 2021-22 · 2021-10-01

Résumé
This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change. South Asian Women’s and Immigrants’ Services Inc. will achieve this by addressing systemic barriers within social policy decision making, networking and collaboration among equity-seeking organizations and initiatives, and allocation of social policy development and delivery resources; by engaging visible minority newcomer women of a community highly impacted by the pandemic as project leaders, activists, and participants; by investigating the lived experience of the pandemic by women in the project target community; and by sharing information and knowledge gained with social policy stakeholders and influencers, including sharing the pandemic response organized locally by community women leaders as a model for effective intervention by women-led community organizations. This will lead to an increased leadership role for affected women in creating pandemic recovery policy; inclusive recovery policies that increase women’s security and prosperity and an expanded role for community women leaders in social policy development and delivery. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, supporting positive distribution of authority, voice, decision-making and resources, and developing networks and collaborations to support women’s equality. This project will engage new and existing partnerships from among organizations and initiatives addressing women’s rights, racism, immigrant rights, and worker’s rights including Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants, Council of Agencies Serving South Asians, South Asian Legal Clinic Ontario, UNIFOR, and faculty of McMaster University-School of Labour Studies and University of Toronto Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social-Work.

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. À l’appui de cet objectif de relance, South Asian Women’s and Immigrants’ Services Inc. mènera les activités suivantes : élimination des obstacles systémiques dans la prise de décisions en matière de politique sociale, réseautage et collaboration avec des organismes et des initiatives en quête d’équité et affectation des ressources d’élaboration et de prestation des politiques sociales; mobilisation des nouvelles arrivantes appartenant à une minorité visible d’une collectivité fortement touchée par la pandémie en tant que dirigeantes de projet, militantes et participantes; examen de l’expérience vécue lors de la pandémie par les femmes de la collectivité cible du projet. Enfin, il y aura mise en commun des renseignements et des connaissances acquises avec les parties intéressées et les influenceuses en matière de politique sociale, y compris des mesures de réponse à la pandémie prises localement par les dirigeantes communautaires, à titre de modèle d’intervention efficace des organismes communautaires dirigés par des femmes. Cela se traduira par un rôle de direction accru des femmes touchées dans l’élaboration d’une politique de relance à la suite de la pandémie; des politiques de relance inclusive qui améliorent la sécurité et la prospérité des femmes et un plus grand rôle pour les dirigeantes communautaires dans l’élaboration et la prestation de politiques sociales. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à l’élimination des obstacles systémiques en faisant la promotion de politiques et de pratiques inclusives, en appuyant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole, du pouvoir décisionnel et des ressources ainsi qu’en créant des réseaux et des mécanismes de collaboration à l’appui de l’égalité des femmes. Ce projet mobilisera des partenariats nouveaux et existants entre des organismes et des initiatives portant sur les droits des femmes, le racisme, les droits des personnes immigrantes et les droits des travailleuses et travailleurs, y compris l’Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants, le Council of Agencies Serving South Asians, la South Asian Legal Clinic Ontario, UNIFOR, la faculté des études du travail de l’Université McMaster et la faculté de travail social Factor-Inwentash de l’Université de Toronto.
