Survivors at the Centre: Manitoba First Nations Combat Human Trafficking

Agreement Number:

HT20279

Agreement Value:

$500,000.00

Agreement Date:

Apr 1, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

This 36-month project with the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Secretariat Inc. will develop and implement a Survivors Mentorship Module, which will outline how survivors can respectfully, safely and appropriately engage in Manitoba First Nations’ efforts to combat human trafficking. The organization will also develop a safety and protection education curriculum for at-risk youth. The purpose of these promising practices is to advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for survivors of human trafficking. This will be achieved by developing, testing, implementing and evaluating the two tools (Survivors Mentorship Module and education curriculum), as well as hosting a promising practices workshop, establishing and engaging with a Survivors Advisory Group and utilizing a trauma-informed and culturally-based approach. At the end of the project, the organization will have developed and implemented two community-based, culturally-rooted tools aimed at building awareness and identifying concrete actions to prevent human trafficking for Manitoba First Nations. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.

The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
