Through this 22-month project, EVA Canada and the Improving Institutional Accountability Project (IIAP) will scale the work of IIAP Phases I & II to address barriers in access to justice for survivors of sexual violence who seek a criminal justice system response. Prior IIAP phases created and implemented the VAW Advocate Case Review (VACR) model now used to audit uncharged police sexual assault investigations in over 30 communities across Canada. IIAP’s three-prong model of systemic change combines supporting communities to implement local oversight of criminal justice system (CJS) responses to survivors, linking advocates across Canada to share promising practices, and finally, engaging national institutions, decision-makers, and advocates to develop consistent national policy, evidence-based practice, and system accountability mechanisms required for effective oversight, data transparency, and outcomes measurement of CJS responses to sexual violence. IIAP III will scale up to implement more VACR teams in new regions/provinces while strengthening sustainability in existing sites, collaborate with stakeholders to develop a framework to address significant national gaps in data collection, and create an evaluation framework for assessing effectiveness and outcomes of the variety of oversight mechanisms (including VACR) currently in use across Canada.

Through this 23-month project, La rue des Femmes in Montréal (LrdF) will expand its relational health intervention approach to strengthen the GBV sector. This project will allow for: 1) expanded access to support, through the establishment of strategic partnerships and collaborations strengthening a network of organizations in Montréal, making it easier for the women they support accessing relational care (both previously unhoused women who are now in permanent housing and women who are survivors of sexual exploitation); and 2) expansion into a new region (Nunavut) and among a new population (Inuit women). It will fill significant gaps in terms of support and access to specialized, responsive, trauma-informed relational care for underserved, isolated, hard-to-reach populations, as well as survivors of GBV with post-traumatic stress disorder. To this end, the project will include expanding relational care in Montréal and deploying the promising practice to partners in the form of training and clinical supervision. Expanding the promising practice to Nunavut through strategic collaborations with partners will make it possible to socially and culturally update and adapt the project, share knowledge and establish communities of practices. LrdF will produce promotional tools in French, English and Inuktitut as required to document or reproduce the project and to expand the promising practice.
