An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.

Through this 32-month systemic change project, Women’s Habitat of Etobicoke will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will increase opportunities for women to enter and succeed in predominantly male workplace environments by building the capacity of employers to implement anti-oppressive, anti-racist, trauma-informed policies and practices. The project will 1) develop an engagement strategy guided by women with lived experiences of GBV; 2) design a training program based on a needs assessment and on consultations with prospective participants; and 3) deliver training to the selected companies and support their efforts to make their workplaces more equitable. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.

Through this 21-month systemic change project, South Asian Women's and Immigrants' Services Inc. (SAWIS) will scale the “Pandemic Response by Highly Impacted Communities” project to advance women’s economic security and prosperity and increase representation in leadership and decision-making roles. It will work with visible minority newcomer women (VMNW) in SAWIS's catchment community (Scarborough and Greater Toronto Area (GTA)) previously identified as women leaders and activists to scale-up the scope and level of engagement in system change activities. It will address inequalities related to gender, race, ethnicity, immigration status and labour market position and initiate collective action. To do so, the project will a) recruit and activate project leaders and working groups; b) consolidate knowledge of community impact of inequities and response for systemic change; c) conduct GBA+ and environmental scans to understand the community’s needs for social policy change and decision making d) activate working groups led by community leaders; e) engage affected communities in systemic change initiatives; f) communicate and network; and g) monitor and evaluate.
