Specifically, the project will hire a GBV Capacity Coordinator and Project Facilitator who will lead the development of a forum of networks and training sessions to strengthen capacity and advance GBV work within organizations and communities.
The project will further develop existing Ending Violence Against Women educational materials to create a new Manitoba-based Indigenous Toolkit and a GBV evaluation and risk framework to pilot for participating partners and networks working in or seeking to work within GBV. Ka Ni Kanichihk will collaborate with the Manitoba Harm Reduction Network on the capacity building content. Their ten regional harm reduction and sexual health networks will ensure provincial reach distribution channels throughout Manitoba.
