Agreement Number:
GV230345
Agreement Value:
$400,000.00
Agreement Date:
Oct 2, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Through this 30-month project, the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) Canada will conduct research that will improve GBV services for Indigenous, Black, racialized, non-status, and temporary status women, who work in precarious, informal, non-standard labour sectors. Through community-based research with GBV service providers and women who access their services in the Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the project will determine the benefits and limitations of using an anti-trafficking framework to understand and address GBV experienced by marginalized, racialized women who work in under-examined informal, precarious, non-standard labour sectors. GAATW Canada will use its national voice to share the research findings among key stakeholders to effect change at legislative, policy, and practice levels and will share information with Women and Gender Equality Canada’s GBV Knowledge Centre.
Supplemental funding will enhance the project’s knowledge mobilization activities including creating online resources, disseminating findings at events, and hosting follow-up community conversations.

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.
