WP230487

$595,900.00

Jul 30, 2024 - Mar 31, 2027

This 33-month project will facilitate the development of a feminist framework to monitor Canada's compliance with international human standards and provide recommendations to ensure that domestic laws and policies encourage women and girls to participate in leadership and decision-making roles. More specifically, FAFIA will enhance the capacity of women’s human rights organizations; increase awareness among women human rights advocates about the role of provincial and territorial legislatures and governments; ensure that the emerging Canadian accountability regime for human rights includes representatives of women’s right advocacy organizations and support participation of women’s human rights advocates in this new regime through the production and dissemination of GBA+ analyses of key international human rights instruments. This project aims to equip women’s human rights organizations with the knowledge, skills and resources to operate more effectively. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
