Les défis qui se posent aux filles : les faits
À la Fondation canadienne des femmes, nous voulons que chaque fille ait confiance en elle et prenne conscience de sa valeur.
C’est pourquoi nous nous efforçons de renforcer la confiance des filles en encourageant chez elles un sentiment d’appartenance et en développant leur esprit critique.
Nous soutenons des programmes pour filles (de 9 à 13 ans) qui favorisent leur émancipation par le sport et l’activité physique, la science et la technologie, l’éducation aux médias, l’action communautaire et le développement des compétences en leadership.
Pourquoi est-il urgent de soutenir les filles au Canada?
À l’approche de l’adolescence, les filles :
- Connaissent des taux élevés d’agression sexuelle et d’autres formes de violence;
- Subissent une détérioration marquée de leur santé mentale et de leur confiance;
- Sont l’objet d’une sexualisation toxique et de stéréotypes négatifs.
