Through this 40-month project, Femmes Autochtones du Québec Inc. will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people. This will be achieved by raising awareness, knowledge sharing, and fighting against discrimination through the implementation of a formal partnership/coalition between Indigenous and non-Indigenous stakeholders with similar mandates, the organization of two conferences: one aimed towards service providers and another aimed towards the 2SLGBTQI+ community, and the development of an ongoing toolkit and resource guide which will be shared with their network online. By the end of the project, Femmes Autochtones du Québec Inc. will have strengthened its capacity to prevent and address gender-based violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people.
