Agreement Date:

Oct 4, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Newfoundland Aboriginal Women’s Network will achieve this by implementing cultural procedures in the local court system, by implementing an Indigenous Court Navigator position, by training individuals in Gladue report writing, by strengthening relations between correctional facilities and community organizations, and by training Indigenous men and women to become Peer facilitators. At the end of the project, the organization 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 to support women’s equality. The Newfoundland Aboriginal Women’s network will partner with the Empower Indigenous Women for Stronger Communities to continue to build and foster a community of Indigenous peer facilitators and leaders.
