Grants and Contributions

With the supplemental funds and 12-month extension provided in early 2026, l’Anonyme will test intervention practices that are sensitive to the realities and experiences of Montreal youth who are vulnerable to sexual exploitation and/or victimized, working with them to recognize and respond to their needs; organize, with young Montrealers who are vulnerable to sexual exploitation and/or have been victimized, around 10 semi-closed group intervention activities that allow them to break out of isolation and strengthen their sense of belonging to a peer group; facilitate access to support for individuals vulnerable to sexual exploitation and/or victimized by creating a corridor of service with community and institutional organizations; disseminate the results and tools developed as part of the project to facilitate knowledge transfer within the GBV network; and assess the perceived abilities of the young people encountered to identify risky situations in the context of GBV and to make safe choices regarding intimacy and sexuality through promising practices.

Through this project, we will analyze safety around schools, update travel plans, arrange support from walking groups (Trottibus, etc.), create entertaining walk-to-school routes with co-creation workshops for children, relaunch the “À mon école, ça marche” contest, and hold awareness workshops on safe travel.

Safety problems around schools are related to a number of factors, the most important of which is probably a vicious cycle of cars as the preferred mode of transportation for many parents. The more cars there are before and after school, the greater the risk of injuries and collisions, and the more parents see active transportation as an unsafe alternative. We are concerned that this will only get worse once parents return to the office. In our interactions with children, we have seen that students feel less safe in public spaces, particularly the youngest ones, who were unable to become accustomed to their living environment during lockdowns. For active travel to and from school, a safe environment can be created with crossing guards, informal supervision by parents and peers, and stricter traffic safety rules in school zones. To enhance its implementation, this project is part of a collaboration with the Borough and other partners under the school zone safety program.

Specific targets:
By the end of the project, 45 children will have participated in co-creation workshops to design entertaining walk-to-school routes. As a result of the project, play elements inspired by the workshops will be installed in the areas around three schools. Between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2023, 15 schools will be given an updated travel plan. By the end of the project, at least three groups of walkers (Trottibus, etc.) will have received assistance for their activities. In each year of the project, one event will be organized to promote active transportation for over 1,000 students. By December 31, 2023, 5,000 students will be educated and equipped for safe travel.

Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth, particularly those who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills.

Through this 24-month project, L’Anonyme U.I.M. will develop and implement the Interstice Project, which includes a set of intervention practices tailored to the specific realities of youth vulnerable to and/or victims of sexual exploitation.
