Stronger, together: Aligning feminist efforts in Northern Ontario to impact systemic change for criminalized women

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. The Elizabeth Fry Society of Northwestern Ontario will achieve this by performing a local and regional systemic needs assessment of effective decarceration strategies; creating a Northwestern Ontario Feminist Justice Network; fostering relationships with Indigenous communities and partners, establishing effective decarceration outcomes for chronically under-resourced women across Northwestern Ontario through consultation, dissemination, and education; as well as performing ongoing assessments, evaluating the project and creating implementation plans. 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, and supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power to support women’s equality. This organization is a member of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies and the Canadian Elizabeth Fry Society of Ontario, which allows them to have the provincial and national support required to advocate for the systemic change required. This project will onboard and target a wide cross-section of partners to expand their network and support their cause, allowing the greatest impact towards their goal.

Description (French)
Ce projet d’une durée de 30 mois soutiendra une intervention et un rétablissement féministes à la suite des répercussions de la COVID-19 en favorisant un changement systémique. L’Elizabeth Fry Society du nord-ouest de l’Ontario y parviendra en effectuant une évaluation des besoins systémiques locaux et régionaux de stratégies de décarcération efficaces; en créant un réseau de justice féministe du nord-ouest de l’Ontario; en favorisant les relations avec les communautés et les partenaires autochtones, en établissant des résultats de décarcération efficaces pour les femmes chroniquement sous-financées dans le nord-ouest de l’Ontario par l’intermédiaire de la consultation, de la diffusion et de l’éducation; ainsi qu’en réalisant des évaluations continues, en évaluant le projet et en établissant des plans de mise en œuvre. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en faisant progresser des politiques et des pratiques inclusives, en renforçant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, ainsi qu’en soutenant une répartition positive de l’autorité, des voix et du pouvoir décisionnel pour soutenir l’égalité des femmes. Cet organisme est membre de la Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies et de la Canadian Elizabeth Fry Society de l’Ontario, ce qui leur permet d’avoir le soutien provincial et national requis pour défendre le changement systémique qui s’impose. Ce projet intégrera et ciblera un large éventail de partenaires pour étendre leur réseau et soutenir leur cause, permettant ainsi le plus grand impact dans l’atteinte de leur objectif.
