$165,240.00

Feb 1, 2022 - Mar 31, 2024

This 26-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Anish Corporation will achieve this by implementing a project to advance the socio-economic standing of Indigenous womxn. This will involve the delivery of workplace skills training responsive to individual identity and needs to 3 cohorts of Indigenous womxn; supporting and facilitating job interviews and placements for participants with employers identified as demonstrating a willingness to accommodate and adapt to the needs of all employees and to examine their internal systems for change; and providing Indigenous cultural support services to both employed participants and the employer post-hiring, to ensure retention of Indigenous womxn who will collaboratively influence and effect meaningful institutional change alongside the employer. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
