Through this 41-month project, the Ontario Native Women’s Association (ONWA) willincrease its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, across Canada. This will be achieved by enhancing and utilizing a strength-based approach to storytelling that will change the narrative of Indigenous women by increasing accessibility to web-based learning and resource materials that are specific to ending GBV, creating safety and healing pathways for Indigenous women, girls, and 2-Spirit people.

The dual web-based platform will ensure that Indigenous women in community throughout ONWA’s membership and community partners will have access to ONWA developed GBV resources, tools, social media creatives and educational materials to support their work in addressing and reducing instances of GBV. The project will also highlight areas of Indigenous women’s success through storytelling that reflects the strength and resiliency of Indigenous women. ONWA’s She Is Wise Framework will be a safe space to highlight and share wise practice approaches to ending GBV as ONWA works to support Indigenous women in community to determine safe outcomes through the development of resources and training materials that are reflective of their lives.

ONWA will partner with their Chapters, Councils and partners, such as the Native Women’s Resources Centre of Toronto, Hamilton Native Women’s Centre, Niagara Chapter of Native Women, Sunset Women’s Aboriginal Circle, Fort Frances Tribal Health Authority, and the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition to develop the tools, educational material and social media engagement creatives and will make them accessible to urban Indigenous Peoples, First Nation, Metis, and Inuit as well as others on a local, regional, provincial, and national level. ONWA will also share resources with many provincial and national organizations such as the Aboriginal Shelters of Ontario, Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres, and Metis Nation of Ontario, Les Femmes Michif Otipemisiwak, Tungasuvvingat Inuit, and Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada.

Through these tools, educational materials and social media creatives, by the end of the project, the Ontario Native Women’s Association will have strengthened their capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people.
