Through this 32-month project the Pas Family Resource Centre will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence against indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ people, in the community of The Pas and surrounding area. This will be achieved by using gender synchronized and trauma informed approaches within Indigenous communities to gather and collaborate in safe spaces. These engagements will research collective needs and reveal evidence to address barriers, collaborate on advocacy issues and build dialogue with governments that include learning how to consult on legislations, policies, and programs. All work done on this project will be developed and implemented through a succession plan to ensure long term sustainability.

This project will engage with First Nations Police, Aurora House, Indigenous women and 2SLGBTQQIA+ survivors of violence and the families of those who experienced GBV, The Pas Pride Committee and Iskwewi Sokatiswin Ending Violence coalition.
By the end of the project, The Pas Family Resource Centre will have strengthened their capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people, in the community of The Pas and surrounding area.
