This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Grande Prairie Women's Residence Association will achieve this by engaging, educating, training and raising awareness on family and gender-based violence. Community partners and community at large will play a valuable role by supporting the collection of aggregated data related to gender-based violence. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices; increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change; encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources; and addressing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality. The project will increase community capacity to address family violence with their own practitioners and by building volunteer numbers to relieve pressure on social services agencies. Additionally, it will help strengthen the existing networks, the use of resources, ideas and influence
