Sep 15, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026

Through this 31-month project, Women’s Health in Women’s Hands will develop and put in place a prevention and care cascade framework to support racialized immigrant, refugee and non-status women, trans and non-binary people impacted by, or at risk of experiencing gender-based violence (GBV). It will address the different risks and sociocultural factors experienced by racialized women and address the need for culturally appropriate and safe services. To do so, the project will support the delivery of a cascade of GBV prevention and care services that are tailored to the needs of racialized women. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice. Women’s Health in Women’s Hands will organize a community knowledge exchange event to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

Gender-Based Violence Program

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.
