Oct 1, 2023 - Jan 31, 2026
Description:
Through this 28-month project Good Night Out Vancouver Association (GNO) will scale a Nightlife and Hospitality Safety Outreach project to strengthen the GBV sector. It will scale to communities on Vancouver Island and within the Okanagan region. It will address gaps in the prevention of non-consensual sexual and gender-based violence in public spaces, supporting worker and community safety and wellbeing, and building capacity to prevent and interrupt gender-based violence. To do so, the project will include an environmental scan of organizations involved in public safety and/or gender-based violence prevention work, community surveys around perceptions and experiences of safety, training and deploying a community-based outreach team, and sharing the learnings in a toolkit series to help other communities build layers of protection from sexualized violence in public spaces. GNO will share information on the promising practice with Women and Gender Equality Canada Gender-based Violence Knowledge Centre so that others 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.
