$359,485.00

Feb 8, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

This 32-month project with Covenant House Vancouver will develop and implement intervention practices that will advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for youth aged 16 to 24 at risk of, or survivors of, sexual exploitation and human trafficking in Vancouver. This will be achieved by researching, drafting, distributing and evaluating a practice guide, tool kit, and training model to support frontline staff and community partners to provide empowerment supports for trafficked youth. At the end of the project the organization will have strengthened policies and practices with respect to human trafficking and sexual exploitation of youth. CHV staff will be fully trained and supported to implement best practices, and the tool kit generated by the project will be shared at a training session for community partners. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.

Gender-Based Violence Program

The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. 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.
