Agreement Value:

$500,000.00

Agreement Date:

Nov 1, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Vancouver Aboriginal Community Policing Centre Society (VACPC) will achieve this by facilitating an alliance of Indigenous, immigrant and refugee women who experience similar barriers and marginalization and incorporating insights from their respective lived experiences for the expansion of online trauma-informed decolonization training modules. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, addressing persistent harmful gender norms to support women’s equality, and supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power.
