12月1日新西兰新闻秘书处消息,COVID-19社区基金为160个关注妇女和女童的组织提供支持。

妇女部长简.蒂內蒂(Jan Tinetti)今天宣布,将向160名成功申请COVID-19社区基金的人提供财政支持,以支持帮助新西兰奥特亚罗亚地区受该大流行病影响的妇女/wāhine和女孩/kōtiro的组织。”COVID-19对包括新西兰奥特亚罗亚在内的世界各地的妇女产生了不成比例的影响,造成了工作的损失,照顾工作的增加,以及家庭暴力的增加。支持新西兰人度过这段艰难时期一直是我们的重点”。

“我们收到了来自全国各地支持妇女和女孩的一系列优秀社区组织的大量申请,由于COVID-19的原因,他们的服务需求增加,资源减少。 成功的申请者包括对心理健康服务的支持、为遭受家庭暴力的妇女和儿童提供安全屋、为失去工作的妇女提供再培训和提高技能的支持,以及增加对支持妇女和女童的志愿者的支持,并为边缘化的妇女和女童提供食品、尿布和卫生用品等基本用品。”许多社区组织和社区仍在感受到COVID-19的持续影响。最近的封锁使本已有限的资源更加紧张。这笔资金将使这些组织能够通过改善COVID-19造成的一些财政压力来满足增加的需求。”我想感谢所有提交申请的组织。在我们的社区组织中,有这么多了不起的人在做令人难以置信的持续工作,”扬-蒂内蒂说。 

200万纽币的COVID-19社区基金被分配给妇女部,作为作为2020年预算的一部分而设立的COVID-19响应和恢复基金的一部分。

1 December,COVID-19 Community fund providing support for 160 organisations focused on women and girls
Minister for Women Jan Tinetti today announced financial support will be allocated to the 160 successful applicants for the COVID-19 Community Fund, to support organisations helping women/wāhine and girls/kōtiro in Aotearoa New Zealand affected by the pandemic.
“COVID-19 has had a disproportionate effect on women around the world including in Aotearoa New Zealand, resulting in job losses, increased caring work, and increased family violence. Supporting New Zealanders through what has been a tough time has been our focus,” Jan Tinetti said.
“We received a high volume of applications from a range of excellent community organisations that support women and girls from across the country and are experiencing an increased demand for their services and reduced resourcing due to COVID-19.
“Successful applicants range from support for mental health services; safe houses for women and children experiencing family violence; support for retraining and upskilling for women who have lost jobs; as well as increased support for volunteers that support women and girls and essential supplies such as food, nappies and sanitary products for marginalised women and girls.
“Many community organisations, and communities, are still feeling the ongoing effects of COVID-19. The most recent lockdowns have put a further strain on already limited resourcing. This funding will enable those organisations to meet increased demand by improving some of the financial strain caused by COVID-19.
“I want to thank all the organisations that submitted applications. There are so many amazing people in our community organisations doing incredible ongoing work,” Jan Tinetti said. 
The $2 million COVID-19 Community Fund was allocated to the Ministry for Women as part of the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund established as part of Budget 2020.
