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.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) provides humanitarian assistance to populations facing a heightened risk of vulnerability, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, migrants and host communities. IOM provides assistance in multiple sectors, including protection, shelter, emergency non-food items, water, sanitation and hygiene services, livelihoods, and camp coordination and management.
