Description:
Through this 30-month project, Burnaby Family Life will scale the MANifest Change/Young Men Leading Change Program to strengthen the GBV sector. It will scale to males who identify with one or more of the following communities Indigenous, LGBTQ2SIA+, low income, black or racialized, newcomer, immigrant, and/or persons with disabilities. It will address the gap in service opportunities for support, empowerment and the development of healthy male identities. To do so, the project will establish programming involving racialized/immigrant males in reducing violence against women in alignment with the MANifest Change model/framework, and engage males in ways that address survivors' safety, justice, and healing needs. Burnaby Family Life will create a toolkit and evaluation to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

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.
