Description (French)
Ce projet de 25 mois renforcera la capacité du Refugee Women’s Network à faire progresser l’égalité des genres en éliminant les obstacles à l’égalité auxquels font face les réfugiées pendant leur établissement au pays et en augmentant la viabilité financière de l’organisme. Pour ce faire, les réfugiées participeront à des recherches visant à cerner et à comprendre leurs besoins, leurs expériences et leurs difficultés. Les résultats de ces recherches serviront à adapter les programmes de l’organisme à leurs besoins et à leur diversité culturelle , facilitant ainsi leur intégration à la société canadienne et améliorant leur qualité de vie. L’embauche d’une personne chargée de la rédaction des demandes de subventions permettra également d’accroître la capacité de collecte de fonds de l’organisme afin de maintenir ses services aux réfugiées. Avec les fonds supplémentaires et la prolongation prévus au début de 2026, l’organisme Refugee Women’s Network renforcera sa capacité à rechercher des possibilités de financement et à présenter des demandes connexes pour aider l’organisme à renforcer les programmes actuels ainsi qu’à en créer de nouveaux. Ce faisant, l’organisme contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres.
