Grants and Contributions

This 22-month project will serve as a continuation of the previous WAGE-funded project entitled ‘The Courage to Act: National Framework to Address and Prevent Gender Based Violence on Post-Secondary Campuses,’ and will continue to address and prevent gender-based violence at post-secondary institutions across Canada.

In collaboration with over 100 partners across Canada, Courage to Act (C2A) will develop and pilot tools, create resources, and share strategies to harmonize approaches to addressing and preventing gender-based violence (GBV) at post-secondary institutions (PSIs).

Through this second phase, Possibility Seeds will build upon the Courage to Act Report and Action Plan, which identifies key next steps, including creating evidence-based tools; engaging the Courage to Act network (i.e. community colleges, universities,
Canadian Union of Public Employees, and sexual assault service associations) through bi-monthly skill share meetings and expanding the knowledge centre; and piloting, evaluating, and refining tools, policies, and procedures developed.

This 28-month project will develop and implement an Intrafamilial Homicides (IH) risk assessment tool to better equip the Montreal police department (SPVM) in their efforts to address the deeper causes of gender-based violence in Montréal. The Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) will achieve this objective by collecting data and analyzing SPVM records on 1) intrafamilial homicides, 2) attempted murders and 3) family/intimate partner violence to explore promising practices in preventing IH and to analyze changes in practices that could improve the SPVM’s current response. In addition, a data watch on IH prevention will be established to track any changes in practices within the SPVM and their impact on improving support for IH victims in the Montreal area.

By the end of the project, UQAM will have contributed to eliminating violence against women and girls by enhancing the police response to family and intimate partner violence in an effort to prevent intrafamilial (IH) homicides.

The objective of this project is to provide a youth with some work experience in the agriculture and agri-food sector.

It will provide dedicated support to local actors, namely oversight bodies and civil society organisations, in applying the Methodology in eight to ten target countries and support application in other countries through international trainings and follow-on assistance. Based on the results of applying the Methodology, the project will provide targeted interventions directly to the countries for improving implementation of RTI laws.
