Grants and Contributions

Nunavut will undertake several activities over five fiscal years to advance victim services and access to justice for victims and their families. Activities will include providing supports and services for victims of crime and Canadian Victims Bill of Rights components of the victims’ rights to information, participation, protection and right to seek restitution are implemented with culturally appropriate measures. In addition, Nunavut will also provide financial assistance programs for victims and their families to attend court proceedings, especially when hearings are held in Iqaluit or other regional hubs. This directly supports the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights principle of participation, ensuring victims can be present and heard during proceedings such as preliminary hearings, trials and sentencing. By grounding the program in these Inuit values, we ensure that services are culturally safe, trauma-informed, and responsive to the diverse needs of victims in Nunavut, while reflecting the federal principles for victims of crime.

This funding will support the Therapeutic Justice Program (TJP) to reduce recidivism, reduce overrepresentation of indigenous offenders in the justice system, increase front-line services to Nunavummiut for mental health issues, substance abuse and trauma, and enhance community-resource capacity by empowering local leaders and organizations. The TJP will offer an alternative to incarceration in the sentencing process by offering a clinical and cultural approach to address the underlying reasons for the criminal behaviour.

The program will offer guidance, assistance, and support to women in the Montreal area who wish to leave the sex industry or who are victims of sexual exploitation, in order to regain good psychological and financial health, and acquire the skills necessary to take control of their lives. The program is based on a direct and comprehensive intervention model with a motivational approach. The program will aim for a step-by-step method. The first step focuses on early intervention directly on the victims and survivor’s environment.

The Journey to Justice Program will support survivors of sex trafficking as they navigate the complexities of the criminal justice system. The program will provide trauma-informed, survivor-centered advocacy and support to survivors through every stage of the legal process—from initial contact with police services to court proceedings and post-court support. The program can be accessed by survivors through self or community partner referral, at any time throughout their justice journey. In addition to support with the criminal justice system, the program will provide individualized case management to support survivors in creating and implementing their journey to justice plan which survivors have indicated must include life stabilization support and/or alternatives to justice outside of the criminal justice system. Through individualized case management, including justice system navigation, life stabilization support and internal referrals to London Abused Women’s Centre’s Anti-Human Trafficking Phoenix Program for counselling and advocacy services, the program will help women and girls with lived and living experience of sex trafficking understand their rights, connect with legal resources, and make informed decisions. The goal of the program is to reduce retraumatization and promote healing by ensuring survivors are heard and supported.

The organization will offer a program for victims and survivors of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, abuse and addictions that offers immediate safe and supported housing, a four-month life-skills program and individualized case planning and client support. The goals of the program are to encourage growth, build resilience and empower participants to become independent and safe individuals.
