Oct 1, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Oasis Centre des Femmes Inc. will achieve this by (1) researching and collecting data on the violence experienced by Francophone immigrant and refugee women during the pandemic; (2) developing and implementing a strategy for sharing the results; and (3) building and implementing the capacity of women community leaders to advocate with provincial and federal decision-makers. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change; and supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power to support women’s equality. As part of this project, partner organizations working with Francophone immigrant and refugee women will be involved in recruiting participants for interviews and focus groups, sharing statistical data, and analyzing and validating the data collected to make recommendations for action in emergency situations.
