Through this 32-month project, Regroupement Féministe du Nouveau-Brunswick (RFNB) Inc. will amplify the practice of cultivating a culture of consent: towards a systematic change in the area of sexual harassment in schools in order to strengthen the gender-based violence sector (GBV). The organization will focus on bringing about systematic changes in policies and practices of schools, will offer care providers with the means of preventing and detecting sexual violence and will implement a culture of consent in the establishments and communities in questions. In order to do so, the project will create and facilitate an advisory committee with organizations, young people, including 2SLGBTQI+ youth, racialized youth and young boys as well as the participating institutions, and will facilitate workshops on consent in the participating schools.

The RFNB will produce a toolkit that will include brochures, videos, posters, a podcast and educational sheets for informing others on the promising practice to enable them to reproduce and amplify it.

Through this 32-month project, Aboriginal Women’s Organizing Network Society (AWON) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people with a focus on those in the sex trade and Indigenous mothers in child welfare matters in Vancouver, BC. This will be achieved by conducting a literature and legal review; consulting, gathering, and strategizing with Indigenous mothers and those wanting to exit from the sex trade, and with Indigenous and women’s organizations; building network(s) and partnership(s); developing a funding strategy for organizational stability; developing policies and guides on employee/volunteer development; and sharing resources.

By the end of the project, AWON will have strengthened their capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people with a focus on Indigenous women and girls in the sex trade and Indigenous mothers in child welfare matters.
