Description:
This 28-month project will support a feminist response to and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic changes. To achieve this, Accès transports viables intends to tackle systemic barriers to women’s mobility by establishing a space for dialogue that engages with community organizations and individuals who work in mobility. It will also carry out organized collective action to create a profile of women’s specific needs in mobility and urban planning. The information collected will then be used to raise awareness among decision-makers and the general public about mobility issues experienced by women. Accès transport viables also intends to build the knowledge and capacity of community organizations who wish to get involved in fighting discrimination against women in the transport sector and to share its expertise with municipal-level actors so they can better respond to women’s specific needs in mobility and urban planning.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à l’élimination d’obstacles systémiques en promouvant des politiques et pratiques inclusives, en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, en soutenant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel à l’appui de l’égalité des femmes.
Plus spécifiquement, Accès transports viables, en collaboration avec ses partenaires, entre autres le Comité pour un transport accessible et abordable à Québec (TRAAQ), Vivre en ville, Jalon Montréal et le Regroupement des groupes de femmes de la région de la Capitale-Nationale (RGF-CN), compte créer et diffuser de nouvelles connaissances sur les enjeux de mobilité vécues par les femmes, intégrant les réalités diversifiées des femmes et celles des femmes à l'intersection des rapports sociaux, et, partager les meilleures pratiques en matière d'aménagements urbains sécuritaires, inclusifs et conviviaux auprès du milieu communautaire et municipal.
