Through this 60-month project , Les Femmes Michif Otipemisiwak will increase its ability to prevent or address gender-based violence against Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. This will be achieved by the development of a Metis 2SLGBTQQIA+ National Action Plan, with representation from across the Metis Nation Motherland.

This National Action Plan will be achieved by the creation of a Metis 2SLGBTQQIA+ National Advisory Committee to oversee the project development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The committee will identify and fill existing gaps relating to the experiences and perspectives of Metis 2SLGBTQQIA+ individuals, with an emphasis on prevention models. This will include engagement with Metis 2SLGBTQQIA+ people regarding their Gender-based Voilence (GBV) experiences, culturally relevant supports and data gathering practices and protocols.

During this research and data collection, as well as through engagement, the Metis 2SLGBTQQIA+ National Advisory Committee will develop and share a Metis 2SLGBTQQIA+ National Action Plan with project funders, partners, and civil society groups.

With the supplemental funding and extension provided in early 2026, Les Femmes Michif Otipemisiwak (LFMO) will establish and implement a 2SLGBTQQIA+ Knowledge Sharing and mobilization Network (Gender- and Orientation-Based Violence Focus) and Develop a Gender- and Orientation-Based Violence Implementation & Evaluation Framework. The work will focus specifically on strengthening Métis-led responses to gender- and orientation-based violence, with a dedicated focus on 2SLGBTQQIA+ community members. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.

Through this 54-month project, the Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women, in collaboration with the other three Atlantic provinces, will develop and pilot GuysWork, a transformative school-based program for male identified students across elementary, middle, and high school grades designed to help boys navigate the intense pressures and expectations around masculinity that shape their identities as men.

This program will support and strengthen efforts to engage young men as allies in reducing Gender Based Violence (GBV) and increase capacity for action.
