Description:

This 31-month project will promote a feminist response to and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change. To achieve this aim, the Association chrétienne des jeunes filles de Montréal plans to: strengthen an understanding of the issues surrounding sexual violence by conducting research in the aim of developing tools adapted to needs; support college communities in fulfilling the mandate imposed on them by framework legislation for preventing and combatting sexual violence on campuses; support the professionals responsible for deploying this specific mandate by creating a platform containing turnkey training and tools for CEGEP staff dealing with issues of diversity, abuse of authority and toxic masculinity in certain male-dominated programs; support school communities in integrating tools and practices relevant to their circumstances; and develop an evolving evaluation strategy. By the end of the project, the organization will have helped eliminate systemic barriers by promoting inclusive policies and practices, by expanding networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change and by changing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes in support of women’s equality.
