Agreement Number:

QC21696

Agreement Value:

$388,056.00

Agreement Date:

Jan 11, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

This 31-month project will support a feminist response to and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic changes. To achieve this, the Table de concertation du mouvement des femmes de la Mauricie (TCMFM) intends to strengthen partnerships and enhance dialogue by establishing a strategic committee on violence experienced by women in the Mauricie region. It also intends to coordinate the development of the “Portrait des visages multiples de la violence vécue par les femmes” [profile of the many faces of violence experienced by women], placing a special focus on diverse, stigmatized and marginalized women. In addition, the committee will coordinate multidisciplinary, intersectional action to prevent and address violence experienced by women—including sexual violence—in order to help decompartmentalize practices between sectors. Finally, the committee will disseminate the profile to educate the public. By the end of the project, the organization aims to have helped remove systemic barriers by enhancing networks and collaboration to expedite systemic change, promoting inclusive policies and practices and addressing the harmful norms and attitudes that persist on gender in support of women’s equality.
