Title:

Gender-Based Violence: An Intersectional Perspective

Agreement Number:

GV230364

Agreement Value:

$540,000.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026

Description:

Through this 30-month project, NDMS will conduct research that will help improve GBV services for at-risk groups. It will address the gap in GBV knowledge about disabled Inuit women and girls in Nunavut, as no literature currently exists. The project will also provide a space for participants to share their lived experience, something that has never been an order to this group, which will result in new ways of understanding GBV through an intersectional lens. To do so, the project will include sharing circles with people with lived experience across all three Nunavut regions. NDMS in collaboration with community partners and an advisory group will draft a formal report to share information on the research endings. The report will be translated, offered in plain language and will be available to anyone interested.

Gender-Based Violence Program

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.
