Agreement Number:

SK21877

Agreement Value:

$491,364.00

Agreement Date:

Oct 18, 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 Young Women's Christian Organization Regina will achieve this by expanding implementation of the YWCA Upstander Education Program, expanding program delivery to rural areas, promoting and hosting the Week Without Violence campaign, developing and distributing awareness campaign materials, and community outreach. The project will unpack harmful gender norms and stereotypes impacting women and girls and develop emotional literacy, explore the intersections of power and priviledge in the workplace and address gender-based violence with allyship of men and boys in the community. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes, and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women's equality. The organization will partner with YWCA Saskatoon to extend the reach of the programming and awareness campaigns. Project success will be measured with surveys, as well as by tracking demographics and engagement.
