Power to Girls Foundation will achieve this by (1) building and maintaining relationships with the school boards they will be collaborating with; (2) establishing a working group representing a diversity of perspectives/realities (geographic, socio-economic factors, etc.) to ensure project intersectionality and relevance across the schooling system ; (3) assessing the needs and gaps in the current education system to highlight the challenges of black and marginalized girls; (4) creating and testing a tailored program based on recommendations, (5) designing and sharing best practices that partners can leverage to address the systematic barriers of their students.

This 27-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Yellowknife Women’s Society will achieve this by conducting research to identify the current problems in the relationship between street-involved Indigenous women and the RCMP; conducting surveys, interviews and hosting focus groups with Indigenous women and girls; developing a final report of recommendations; and begin implementing and assessing the next steps to end gender-based violence.

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 harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.

ANSWERS will achieve this by hosting Town Hall sessions to complete a participatory needs assessment, offering workshops and networking sessions for sex workers to help establish and maintain support systems, organizing a multi-day Assembly to bring together sex workers and various stakeholders (police, legal representatives, health practitioners, etc.) to share their personal knowledge and lived experiences, and developing an educational resource about the sex work industry in Canada to inform policies and programs.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic change by increasing networks and collaboration; increasing the support systems and resources available to sex workers to assist them in ending violence against them; supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power; and reducing stigma that creates barriers for accessing supports and services for women and those who often face multiple marginalization factors.

This 27-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Nova Scotia Native Women's Association will address systemic barriers imposed on First Nations, Indigenous and Mi’kmaq communities in accessing adequate housing and infrastructure. This will be achieved by creating equitable Mi’kmaq First Nation housing policy templates to be utilized by Mi’kmaq elected leadership, by creating a Nationhood strategic plan to engage, identify and find solutions to address the Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq housing crisis.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, and by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support Indigenous women’s equality and to eliminate discriminatory housing policies and practices in Mi’kmaq First Nation communities.

The Nova Scotia Native Women's Association will work with the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq Chiefs, the Mi'kmaq Native Friendship Center, the Wabanaki Two-Spirit Alliance and the Nova Scotia Tripartite Forum.
