Through this 30-month project, the Fédération des femmes acadiennes de la Nouvelle-Écosse (FFANE) will amplify the promising practice of culturally adapting and validating translated tools and resources as well as their circulation through a lens of community engagement to strengthen the gender-based violence sector. It will help amplify French resources adapted to the realities of the Acadian and Francophone population of Nova Scotia (NS). It will focus on the need to address a language barrier which undermines French-speaking population of NS and adapt the content to regional realities. In order to do so, the project will include the creation of a committee of stakeholders from gender-based violence sector (GBV) and from Acadian and Francophone community sectors and implementation of a cultural adaptation and validation process for the identified resources. FFANE will conduct the mapping for awareness-raising and dissemination of these resources to inform others of this promising practice in order to allow them to reproduce and amplify it.

Through this 31-month project, Women’s Health in Women’s Hands will develop and put in place a prevention and care cascade framework to support racialized immigrant, refugee and non-status women, trans and non-binary people impacted by, or at risk of experiencing gender-based violence (GBV). It will address the different risks and sociocultural factors experienced by racialized women and address the need for culturally appropriate and safe services. To do so, the project will support the delivery of a cascade of GBV prevention and care services that are tailored to the needs of racialized women. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice. Women’s Health in Women’s Hands will organize a community knowledge exchange event to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

Through this 31 month project, Victim Services of Peel (VSOP), will leverage their existing relationship with the Peel Regional Police (PRP) to develop and put in place the HALT (Helping Alliances with Law Enforcement and Trafficking) model, an integrated approach whereby the Crisis Intervention Counsellors (CIC) are embedded in the Vice Unit at the Peel Regional Police to collaborate on Human Trafficking investigations and immediate on-scene response to strengthen the GBV sector. It will address the need to provide real-time support to Human Trafficking Victims at time of police response.

To do so, the project will establish a steering committee with subject matter expertise, engage with local organizations to increase access to long term wrap around services, hire and train 2 Anti - Human Trafficking (AHT) Crisis Intervention Counsellors, organize joint training sessions with PRP, and embed Crisis Intervention Counselors into PRP to provide immediate Client Services. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice. Victim Services of Peel will share evaluation results including lessons learned, and project successes with stakeholders and the public so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

The supplemental funding will be used to: 1- increase impact of the promising practice by hiring staff to provide support on evenings and weekends to survivors, and 2- increase knowledge mobilization by hosting a Human Trafficking Symposium aimed at disseminating the best practices to Human Trafficking Police Units, Victim Services Sites, Crown Attorney’s, and Social Service providers from across Ontario.
