Description:
Through this 21-month systemic change project, the Fédération des agricultrices du Québec will scale the Perspective+ Canada Program to advance women’s representation in leadership and decision-making roles. The project will scale to all agricultural organizations in all provinces of Canada. It will address gender attitudes in agriculture that create barriers to women’s professional development in the sector.
To achieve this goal, the project will perform a diagnosis and environmental scan on 50 agricultural organizations—particularly ones in rural areas that include people who are Indigenous, racialized, immigrants, members of official language minority communities, and 2SLGBTQI+, as well as raise awarness about unconscious bias. The project will then focus on a required systemic change in at least one agricultural organization per province; support the organizations in implementing these changes, drawing from customized tools; and monitor progress on the changes. Finally, the project will launch an awareness campaign on gender prejudice and unconscious bias surrounding women in agriculture, and then develop a network of partners to share knowledge.
