Description:

This project proposes to engage the military community in the National Capital Region about military sexual violence through outreach (workshops & presentations, connections through events, social media & print awareness campaign). It will also offer diverse platforms for accessing peer support (24-hour phone line, digital support through text, in-person peer support). Additionally, the project will create space for at least 3 distinct categories of survivors (survivors of violence in military setting, survivors who survive violence as the result of a perpetrator in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) community, and survivors who have witnessed abuse or assault) to share their story in a safe, accountable and confidential space with trained Peer Support Facilitators.

Organization:

National Defence

Expected Results:

(1) Those impacted by or at risk of GBV are better able to cope with the effects; (2) CAF community members who are affected by sexual assault are able to access a wider range of specialized support services; (3) SACs are more integrated within the CAF network of support services to survivors of sexual assault
