This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Kamloops and District Elizabeth Fry Society will achieve this by building a roundtable of community partners, creating a GBA+ informed report on local systemic barriers for gender equality and needs in the women serving sector, addressing needs through community collaboration, enhancing community-based research, and delivering an awareness campaign.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, advancing inclusive policies and practices, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.

The project will create a developmental evaluation framework to measure success, and a workshop curriculum that will be launched through an awareness campaign to contribute to systemic change. Key partners Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre and Kamloops Y Women’s Emergency Shelter will provide project leadership through the roundtable, which will reflect a full feminist intersectional range of organizations from the community, including immigrant serving, disability support services, LGBTQ2A+, and First Nations.

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; supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power; and addressing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.

Key partners will include Fearless R2W and West Central Women’s Resource Centre, amongst others. Additional networks and coalitions will be engaged in each of the five areas to support the transformation of the social safety net, including the development of the action strategy.
