Agreement Date:
Feb 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2025
Description:
This 24-month project will develop an enhanced community and workplace experience for the Signal for Help Responders learning journey and increase the reach of the initiative to better respond to survivors.
To do this, the organization will secure partnerships with new and established partners and secure an external evaluator to determine methodologies for tracking and evaluation. They will work collaboratively with partners and the evaluator to analyze the evaluation data, share promising practices, and adapt and optimize the learning material's content.
They will develop tailored bystander intervention tools in partnership with workplaces and communities to help bystanders better respond to survivors, and train volunteers to coach them to launch peer violence prevention projects.
10-15 gender diverse artists, content creators and gender justice advocates will share knowledge and promising practices to strengthen culture change efforts and end the normalization of
gendered violence. CWF will also undertake knowledge exchange activities with national reach to transform cultures of stigma to cultures of support for survivors.
Finally, CWF will share lessons from the scale up of the project by distributing the evaluation learnings across national and international partners to contribute to the culture change.
