This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Ethnocultural Council of Manitoba-Stronger Together Inc. will achieve this by reviewing and analyzing laws, policies, services and funding distribution related to intimate partner violence, building strong partnerships with the immigrant and refugee communities in Manitoba and developing and sharing resources about intimate partner violence with ethnocultural communities and with service providers that support ethnocultural communities. 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.
