The UN notes that access to sexual and reproductive health care is essential for empowerment, safety, gender equality, and to reduce poverty [2]. The project aims to foster gender equality through targeted interventions to improve maternal, newborn and reproductive health outcomes.

This Project is composed of three separate Project activities (ASI + CW + STEP):
• to further develop the UNSCR 1540 Assistance Support Initiative (ASI) tool to establish an online catalogue of all UNSCR 1540 beneficiary-donor opportunities that will refine, populate and update the online 1540 Committee Catalogue Website with “match-making” beneficiary-donor opportunities, making it more robust, sustainable and useable with an extended language translation capability; ASI Phase 2 will explore synchronization with other databases, including those of the BTWC, the CWC and the IAEA to extend match-making opportunities and further enhance UNSCR 1540 implementation;
• to develop a Chemical Weapons (CW) Legal Frameworks Compendium Tool that will deliver a set of potential international standards for securing CW-related materials and facilities and analyse the indices, measures and standards to identify vulnerabilities in states and sectors with accompanying recommendations to address these vulnerabilities; and
• to implement a Security and Trade Efficiency Platform (STEP) program in the Southeast Asia region to enhance efforts to prevent illicit trafficking of strategic goods through Asian ports.

Project activities include: (1) distributing Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) Dignity Kits; (2) conducting SGBV case management for survivors; (3) providing mobile SGBV services along internally displaced corridors; (4) establishing women-only community centres and spaces; (5) disseminating information on SGBV risk mitigation and available services; (6) strengthening coordination mechanisms of multi-sectoral SGBV responses; (7) building the capacity of national SGBV service providers; (8) providing emergency life-saving RH services to new pregnant women, internally displaced persons (IDP) and returnees through mobile delivery rooms and clinics; (9) procuring medical equipment and RH kits; and (10) establishing RH clinics in new IDP camps.

. - Conduct a hydrographic river survey to measure bathymetry profiles of the North Saskatchewan River and the Spruce River within the study area; and - Summarize available data regarding infrastructure (i.e. culverts, bridges, outfalls, storm water connectivity, etc.) Phase 2 - River Hydraulics Modeling: - Complete a statistical analysis of historical stream-flow data to estimate design flows for the 100-yr and 500-yr return periods for the North SK River and Spruce River. - Create geometric data for the hydraulic model of the study reach by including LiDAR and bathymetric data for the North SK River and Spruce River and set-up model parameters. - Calibrate-validate the model with observed/historic flood data and conduct a sensitivity analysis of critical parameters within the process Phase 3 - Flood Hazard Analysis and Reporting - Evaluate the two design flood events by using the hydraulics model and estimate water levels and velocity profiles of flood waters. - Apply and calibrate model for the design floods. - Identify the two flood hazard zones (floodway and flood fringe) and develop GIS based flood maps. - Identify possible mitigation measures to minimize the impact of design flood.

It will also enable shelters and transition houses to maintain operations both during and after the pandemic and continue to serve the needs of women, girls, LGBTQ2, and gender non-binary people experiencing violence to advance gender equality in Canada.

It will work with Fierté agricole (LGBTQ2) and the Quebec Farmers' Association to recruit new members and candidates from these organizations.

North End Women’s Centre Inc. will achieve this by developing, integrating and implementing new inclusive policies and procedures through an anti-oppressive and decolonizing framework; they will collaborate with partners through a community of practice to support their development and implementation of anti-oppressive and decolonizing policies and practices; they will increase representation of lived experience of Indigenous, racialized, newcomer women, women who are LGBTQ2+ and marginalized voices through the creation of an Advisory Committee as well as a Lived-Experience Mentorship Program within their community of practice; and provide organization wide anti-oppression training and media communication training, allowing for increase reporting to media outlets and advocate for changes to systemic gender biases in messaging.

Pink Attitude will achieve this by: 1) identifying and measuring the barriers faced by South Asian women using a mass survey and interviews; 2) disseminating a report focused on addressing the barriers and engaging the South Asian community through an action plan; 3) launching 1-3 pilot projects in the top identified sectors with partners to address systemic barriers experienced by participants; and 4) conducting an evaluation to measure changes with respondents in the pilot projects with a focus on improving the high unemployment rates among South Asian women and to ensure the dissemination of results.

The Nunavut Family Information Liaison Unit (FILU ) Cultural Support Program will continue to be a one-stop for information gathering and sharing for those affected by the issues of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. The FILU will facilitate meetings for families with the information providers such as RCMP, Coroner, Department of Health and the Department of Family Services. The FILU will work in collaboration with their partners to inform grieving families about accessing community-based culturally relevant supports which includes community and/or family healing sessions.
