Girls Anti-Violence Strategy: A Road-Map to End Violence against Girls

GV21405

$495,630.00

Dec 1, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

This 28-month project will develop a research map that will identify gender-based violence against girls in urban and rural BC and design an anti-violence response strategy with policy recommendations to address the root causes of gender-based violence. Justice for Girls will achieve this by undertaking systemic advocacy initiatives, leading awareness campaigns, enhancing community partnerships, and implementing a leadership program for girls. At the end of the project, the organization will have developed a promising practice that addresses discriminatory legislation and policies that prevent girls from fully participating in the social, political, and economic spheres; community-based approaches to address intersectional barriers to equality for diverse girls; and policies to enhance reconciliation based approaches for Indigenous girls’ safety, economic security and leadership opportunities.

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.
