Title:

Successful Initiatives to Address Intimate Partner Violence against Women and Girls in Alberta's Black Communities

Agreement Number:

AB21777

Agreement Value:

$469,227.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 1, 2022 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

This 25-month project will develop, implement, and test a culturally appropriate, community-based intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention-focused service delivery and policy framework to effectively address the root causes of gender-based violence within Alberta’s Black and African communities. The Pan African Collaboration for Excellence (PACE) with the University of Alberta will achieve this through the collaborative, equitable, and participatory development of a comprehensive IPV prevention framework; the development of a core resource kit to support implementation of the framework; adapting core material into a diversified resource kit for community-based service and program providers to implement the framework; and the continuous monitoring and evaluation of the initiative. At the end of the project, the University of Alberta will have developed a promising practice that produced and analyzed data to inform inclusive policies and strategies; engaged Black women and girls as decision-makers and agents of change; addressed and disrupted racialized and stereotypical narratives about IPV in Alberta’s Black communities; and strengthened networks and collaborations for IPV prevention within and outside Black communities.
