$399,996.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 22, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026

Description:

This 36-month project will allow the Val-d’Or Native Friendship Centre (CAAVD) to increase its ability to prevent gender-based violence (GBV) against women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ persons in the Val-d’Or Indigenous community and refer them to appropriate resources, including community justice, health and social services and traditional healing resources. The steps involved in achieving this objective will begin with an analysis of the organization’s internal operations, the identification of gaps in mechanisms and clinical process flows, development of an action plan, dissemination of objectives and development of the tools to overcome obstacles identified in the fight against the GBV. Next, CAAVD will organize interactive activities leading to integration of the tools and mechanisms developed. Lastly, the tools and mechanisms created will be assessed, consolidated and permanently implemented within the organization. This project will engage key CAAVD partners to gather their input on their relationship with the organization and for partnership mapping purposes. By the end of the project, CAAVD will have developed administrative and practical tools and a repository of lessons learned, including consultations with women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ persons from the community, and key CAAVD partners, to remedy issues related to support for women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ members of the Val-d’Or Indigenous community.
