Grants and Contributions

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) will advance women’s equality with a strategic focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

At the end of the project, SCWIST will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, 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.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response to and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change. To achieve this goal, the Conseil d’intervention pour l’accès de femmes au travail (CIAFT) du Québec inc. plans to: identify the issues driving systemic discrimination against women in employment and conduct focus groups and field investigations to identify issues, needs and problems related to working conditions in traditionally female trades; engage identified partners to create a platform of demands, implement action plans aimed at systemic and specific changes in each employment sector and conduct representation activity with decision makers to initiate systemic changes; develop and implement an awareness campaign and implement a media and press relations strategy to publicize the platform of demands and actions in targeted employment sectors at the provincial level.

By the end of the project, the organization will have helped eliminate systemic barriers by promoting inclusive policies and practices, by expanding networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change and by changing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes in support of women’s equality.

Through these activities, the project Réduire la discrimination systémique envers les femmes par la valorisation des métiers majoritairement féminins (reducing systemic discrimination against women by enhancing the value of predominantly female trades) will achieve the following outcomes: target audiences will have access to programs, resources and supports to respond and recover from the impact of COVID-19 on women’s equality; networks and collaboration to expand the scope, impact and sustainability of efforts to respond to and recover from the impacts of COVID-19 on women’s equality will be established; target audiences will use and apply the knowledge gained in their policy and program work to respond to and recover from the impacts of COVID-19 on women’s equality; and policies and practices designed to eliminate barriers to responding to and recovering from the impacts of COVID-19 will be inclusive.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Prince Albert Metis Women’s Assoc. Inc. will achieve this by identifying the barriers facing underrepresented women, girls 2SLGBGTQ+ and seniors in northern Saskatchewan and promote awareness campaigns to address those barriers. The project will partner with community groups as project advisors, and promotors. They will support human service organizations through action-based research and analysis that leads to improvements in organizational design, growth and governance. The organization will identify and build solutions to focus on creating reform, this will be measured and tracked by monitoring new policies and practices within supported organizations.

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.

The organization will partner with governmental agencies to share and disseminate resources and tools created through the project to support community organizations. Additionally, health providers, economic advocates and academics will contribute to measure the impact of changes in policy, practice and leadership and help to quantify success.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Trucking Human Resources Canada will achieve this by promoting mechanisms for sector-focused systemic change across Canada.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to identifying and addressing systemic barriers to gender equality within the Canadian truck transportation sector and drive change from within. The project will identify factors shaping low rates of recruitment and retention of women; identify and disseminate research-based policies and practices that advance inclusive and gender-diverse work environments; develop employer tools and resources designed to reduce or eliminate systemic and gender-specific barriers; facilitate the development of networks; and work to dismantle harmful gender norms and attitudes by increasing awareness of women's roles in the industry.

This 28-month project will develop, implement, and test the expansion of the “Be More Than a Bystander Program” as well as new strategies to effectively address the root causes of gender-based violence in the trades industry. The BC Centre for Women in the Trades (BCCWITT) will achieve this through the creation of a support hub, resources, and referral services to support women, women of colour, and 2SLGBTQIA people in the trades facing discrimination, gender-based or racial violence; developing and implementing advocacy supports; expanding the ‘Be More Than a Bystander’ program across industry organizations; and developing a policy-change agenda that addresses barriers to gender-equality in the trades.

At the end of the project, the BCCWITT will have developed a promising practice that engaged underrepresented tradeswomen with lived experience as leaders, decision-makers and implementers of project activities; designed and implemented advocacy practices for women facing discrimination and gender-based violence in the industry; addressed discriminatory policies and developed best practices for industry organizations; engaged men to address harmful gender norms, gender and racial-based violence; and strengthened industry partnerships and networks for GBV prevention.

The project will actively engage underrepresented tradeswomen and 2SLGBTQIA people in environmental scans and needs analysis to set priorities and design advocacy supports and services. Labour representatives, industry representatives, and women from the trades will be actively engaged in all elements of the project through the project governance committee and as partners in advancing gender-equality in the industry.

The Project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the Firm.
