National Conversation on Gender Equality with Young Inuit Canadians

AN190147

$400,000.00

Aug 1, 2019 - Mar 31, 2023

This 44-month project will support Pauktuutit to co-develop, with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami’s National Inuit Youth Council, a national dialogue and action plan on gender equality. Young people from across the four Inuit Nunangat regions and urban areas will come together with Pauktuutit staff and youth board members through virtual and face-to-face discussions, with themes, trends and ideas captured to shape the creation of appropriate communications and outreach strategies. A range of activities will be considered, from organizing web-based events, to the creation of an electronic platform or online training and mentoring to build the capacity and confidence of Inuit youth to be able to advocate for gender equality. Support activities will include building skills for gender-based analysis plus to create understanding of intersectionality and empower youth to identify and respond to gender equality barriers and negative gender norms in their communities. The website, tools and other resources created through the project will be publically launched.
