Résumé
This 26-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Afghan Women's Organization Refugee and Immigrant Services (AWO) will achieve this by : engaging in significant outreach (advisory committee, peer leaders, outreach strategy); research (literature review, data collection via mixed participatory methods); community interventions through pilot small-scale social change prototypes (tested and adjusted as needed); and ensuring the sustainability of the results through the development and dissemination of a Dialogue Box/Toolkit Training, final report, and project learnings. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, and by addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.

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. Pour y parvenir, l’Afghan Women’s Organization Refugee and Immigrant Services (AWO) participeront à d’importants exercices de sensibilisation (comité consultatif, pairs leaders, stratégie de sensibilisation), à des travaux de recherche (analyse documentaire, collecte de données au moyen de méthodes participatives mixtes), et à des interventions communautaires au moyen de prototypes pilotes favorisant le changement social à petite échelle (mis à l’essai et adaptés au besoin). Ils veilleront à assurer la durabilité des résultats par l’élaboration et la diffusion d’une formation sur la trousse d’outils/boîte de dialogue, d’un rapport final et de leçons tirées du projet. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à l’élimination d’obstacles systématiques en soutenant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel, et en changeant les normes et attitudes de genre préjudiciables persistantes a l’appui de l’égalité des femmes.
Expected Results
Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
Expected Results (French)
Les femmes et les parties prenantes peuvent obtenir de l’aide pour traiter des enjeux liés à l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes.
