Agreement Date:
Sep 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Through this 31-month project, Restigouche CBDC will conduct research that will help improve GBV services for at-risk groups, specifically Mi’gmaq women, Two Spirit, non-binary and gender-diverse people in the extended region of Restigouche. It will address barriers to accessing services related to GBV in a region with intersecting vulnerabilities and needs, and with limitations in providing culturally specific and trauma-informed care. To do so, the project will include the creation of an Advisory Committee, the implementation of an action and knowledge mobilization plan, and an internal project evaluation process. Furthermore, the project will entail a comprehensive research phase which will include a review of relevant literature to identify gaps, engagement with community members with lived experience through adapted research methods, and an analysis of results to identify barriers, best practices, and recommendations. Restigouche CBDC will create products and materials that summarize project results intended for key partners and stakeholders, a knowledge mobilization campaign for the general public, and presentations to share information on research findings.

Program Purpose:
The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
