Description:
Through this 30-month project, the Montreal City Mission will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. More specifically, the project will address systemic barriers in access to justice facing women and 2SLGBTQI+ people who are undocumented or have a precarious status, as well as the impacts of the requirement for requesting renewal of a temporary resident permit (TRP) on those who experience domestic violence. The project will help improve access to legal services for migrant women and 2SLGBTQI+ people, deploy an advocacy campaign on the impact of the TRP, initiate a dialogue with stakeholders, and inform and educate the public about the barriers facing migrant women and 2SLGBTQI+ people. An external evaluation will measure and assess the impact of this systemic change project.
