This 29-month project supports a feminist response to and recovery from the current impact of COVID-19 through systemic change. To achieve this, the Regroupement des groupes de femmes de la Capitale-Nationale plans to mobilize 40 groups among member women’s groups, feminist communities and allied mixed groups in a people’s education tour of the Capitale-Nationale Region (Portneuf – Québec – Charlevoix) to equip participants with the tools they need to identify and better understand intersecting issues related to the environment, violence and poverty that affect them. The project aims to expand the group’s scope of action by developing collaborative initiatives with allied groups and underrepresented women’s groups. It also aims to strengthen inclusive practices within the region’s women’s movement by adopting targeted methods for including the voices of marginalized women. The outcomes of the people’s education tour will be shared at a conference designed to prioritize converging issues and identify priorities for action from a feminist, green, inclusive and equitable perspective. The project will address the concerns identified by the region’s women’s movement and its allies through political representation, publications and briefs, and attendance at public hearings. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed toward addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, and by expanding networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, and by fostering a more effective, equitable division of resources in support of women’s equality.
