LES FONDATRICES DU FAEJ <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

En 1985, les fondatrices du FAEJ ont r\u00e9alis\u00e9 que l\u2019inscription de la disposition d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 dans la Charte<\/em> n\u2019\u00e9tait qu\u2019une premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape vers l\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 des genres. L\u2019application, l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation et la d\u00e9fense des droits \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 allaient n\u00e9cessiter de continuels efforts de plaidoyer. C\u2019est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment dans ce but que le FAEJ a vu le jour, sous l\u2019impulsion de f\u00e9ministes profond\u00e9ment engag\u00e9es qui ont non seulement lanc\u00e9 cette initiative, mais aussi fait avancer ce travail\u202f: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LISEZ SUR NOTRE MISSION ET NOTRE VISION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RECONNAISSANCE DES TERRES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Le bureau du FAEJ est situ\u00e9 \u00e0 Tkar\u00f3n:to, qui est un mot mohawk qui signifie \u00ab l\u2019endroit dans l\u2019eau o\u00f9 se dressent les arbres \u00bb. Cette terre est r\u00e9gie par le Pacte de la ceinture wampum faisant r\u00e9f\u00e9rence au concept du \u00ab bol \u00e0 une seule cuill\u00e8re \u00bb, un accord de paix de nation \u00e0 nation entre les Anishinaabes les Haudenosaunees les Wendats et d\u2019autres nations alli\u00e9es. Nous tous qui partageons ce territoire partageons la responsabilit\u00e9 de prendre soin de la terre et des cr\u00e9atures avec lesquelles nous vivons. Il faut aussi travailler pour que le plat ne soit jamais vide, et garder la paix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reconna\u00eetre l\u2019histoire de la terre nous oblige \u00e9galement \u00e0 r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir sur la position du FAEJ en tant qu\u2019organisation \u0153uvrant pour la justice de genre dans le contexte d\u2019un syst\u00e8me juridique fond\u00e9 sur le colonialisme et la supr\u00e9matie blanche. Ce syst\u00e8me faisait partie des efforts visant \u00e0 effacer et \u00e0 \u00e9liminer les peuples autochtones et leurs cultures. Les lois et politiques coloniales continuent de soumettre les personnes autochtones, en particulier les femmes, les filles et les individus 2ELGBTQQIA, \u00e0 des niveaux disproportionn\u00e9s de violence et de pauvret\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le FAEJ reconna\u00eet \u00e9galement la r\u00e9silience et la force des personnes et des communaut\u00e9s autochtones, qui se sont battues et continuent de se battre contre ces syst\u00e8mes d\u2019oppression. Nous devons faire davantage pour centrer les voix de ceux qui sont confront\u00e9s \u00e0 la marginalisation, reconna\u00eetre notre complicit\u00e9 dans ce syst\u00e8me et repousser non seulement le patriarcat, mais aussi le colonialisme, la supr\u00e9matie blanche et le racisme. Ce n\u2019est qu\u2019ainsi que nous pourrons v\u00e9ritablement \u0153uvrer \u00e0 la justice de genre et \u00e0 la justice pour tous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
