Résumé
This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Elizabeth Fry Society of Northern Alberta will achieve this by developing and implementing community-based approaches to address intersectional barriers to equality for women who are criminalized and those who are considered at risk. More specifically, the Elizabeth Fry Society of Northern Alberta will raise awareness and educate the public on systemic discrimination within our criminal and social systems and advocate for alternatives to incarceration, access to justice and Gladue Rights. They will also be providing their expertise to the legal community to develop plans that avoid and prevent incarceration and will move the needle on the TRC and MMIWG's calls to action.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by addressing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
Working with diverse partners such as CEASE and John Humphrey’s Centre, mentors will be trained in intersectional feminist, trauma informed advocacy.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 29 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes face aux impacts actuels de la COVID-19, par le biais d’un changement systémique. L’Elizabeth Fry Society of Northern Alberta y parviendra en élaborant et en mettant en œuvre des approches communautaires visant à éliminer les obstacles intersectionnels à l’égalité pour les femmes qui sont criminalisées et celles qui sont considérées comme étant à risque. Plus précisément, l’Elizabeth Fry Society of Northern Alberta sensibilisera et éduquera le public en matière de discrimination systémique au sein de notre système pénal et nos systèmes sociaux et plaidera en faveur de solutions de rechange à l’incarcération, de l’accès à la justice et des droits Gladue. Elle offrira également son expertise à la communauté juridique pour élaborer des plans permettant de prévenir l’incarcération et fera avancer les appels à l’action liés à la Commission de vérité et réconciliation (CVR) et aux femmes et les filles autochtones disparues et assassinées (FFADA).
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en s’attaquant aux normes et aux attitudes persistantes et néfastes liées au genre afin de soutenir l’égalité des femmes.
En collaboration avec divers partenaires tels que CEASE et le John Humphrey’s Centre, des mentors seront formés à la défense des droits par des féministes intersectionnelles et en tenant compte des traumatismes.
