Through this 40-month project, the Aboriginal Women’s Association of PEI (AWAPEI) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. This will be achieved by implementing the organization’s strategic plan, by improving AWAPEI’s and its membership’s ability to address GBV, and by strengthening the organizational governance, communication, financial management and project management capacity.
