Title:

Gender Equality Systemic Change Project Kamloops

Agreement Number:

GV21665

Agreement Value:

$294,221.00

Agreement Date:

Oct 15, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

This 29-month project will consist of developing and implementing an approach that will identify and consolidate access to French-language and culturally appropriate services for women and girls experiencing violence in British Columbia to address the root causes of gender-based violence. Société Inform’Elles Society will achieve this goal by identifying gaps in services or resources to serve Francophone women who have experienced gender-based violence by establishing two key partnerships with organizations in anti-violence sectors to develop and enhance their services for Francophone women. In addition, Inform’Elles will promote these new avenues by engaging the French-speaking community and sharing the lessons learned from the project through regional and national networking. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to removing systemic barriers by promoting inclusive policies and practices, fostering more efficient and equitable sharing of resources, and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change.

Program Purpose:

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.
