Elizabeth Fry Society of Northern Alberta

Published purpose

Through this 18 month project, Elizabeth Fry Society of Northern Alberta will build its capacity to advance gender equality. It will address their capacity to advocate for the elimination of the overincarceration of Indigenous women in prisons in and around Edmonton. The project will include community engagement, advocacy campaign, communication strategies as well as developing a toolkit and sharing the impacts that will strengthen their skills, knowledge and cultural competency so that they can be change-makers and leaders in addressing the crisis in our prisons and can effectively raise awareness, mobilize support, and drive meaningful change in the movement to decarcerate Indigenous women and promote restorative justice, healing, and empowerment of Indigenous women.
