This includes providing opportunity for linkage with other capacity-building efforts of the HCRI (e.g. the Healthy Cities Research Training Platform and HCRI Fellowships) and by fostering a network of “learning cities” that share and build on each other’s experience, support continuous improvement, and identify promising solutions for scalability

Project activities include: (1) providing psychosocial and legal support to help women survivors recover from and seek justice for the physical and psychological violence they have experienced; (2) providing training to women human rights defenders and organizations and other key stakeholders on national and international human rights frameworks and gender-based analysis, as well as organizational strengthening; (3) developing or improving National Action Plans and the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) on women, peace and security; and (4) establishing South-South exchanges to facilitate networking, mutual learning and skills building.

This project is expected to directly reach more than 35,000 beneficiaries (78% women and 22% men) in the five countries/territories, including approximately 9,500 women survivors of gender-based violence.

Project activities include: (1) training on prevention of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) for adolescent girls and boys, SRHR, gender-transformative life skills and transformative masculinities; (2) training frontline protection and health service providers in gender-and adolescent-responsive and inclusive protection and SRHR service provision; (3) providing equipment and supplies for SRHR service providers, including menstrual health needs; (4) implementing a communications strategy to challenge negative gender norms, promote AGYW`s rights, the role of men and boys as allies, and the prevention of xenophobia; and (5) strengthening the capacity of local organizations, particularly women’s rights organizations, youth-led organizations and migrants rights organizations through virtual learning and multi-country exchange sessions for project staff and key actors.

At the end of the project, the organization will have built systemic understanding of gender-based violence, standardized knowledge across the violence against women and social services sectors, reduced barriers, improved community access to information, education and learning, and created a shared knowledge base to coordinate and mobilize sector-wide initiatives, hereby advancing inclusive policies and practices, supported positive distribution of authority, voice, decision-making and resources, and developed networks and collaborations.

They will conduct a comprehensive situational analysis/needs assessment in coordination with indigenous and LGBTQ2S survivors in Halton; develop the approach and corresponding tools in support of the approach (guiding principles, training materials, updated resource list); and test and refine the approach. Learnings will be used to refine the SAVIS approach, and the updated model will be shared among GBV community agencies and policy makers.
