Description:
This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Alternatives for Women in Prince Edward County will achieve this by developing and piloting a training and public
engagement program for women, youth and service providers to address inequality, systemic barriers and gender-based violence faced by women in the community. This program will include building skills of local agencies, organizations and businesses,
while also facilitating skill development groups for women and engagement sessions for youth to prevent GBV. Each component of the training program will be evaluated, and the knowledge and resources created and improved through the project will be
disseminated within the community and relevant stakeholders.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes, and encouraging
more equitable and effective sharing of resources to support women’s equality.
The project will be developed in collaboration with three community partners: Three Oaks Foundation, Sexual Assault Centre, and the Prince Edward County Ontario Provincial Police.
