Description:
Through this 30-month project, Puakuteu, comité de femmes de Mashteuiatsh, will develop and implement a system of support workers to strengthen the gender-based violence sector. The organization will address access to adequate and appropriate resources on violence in the community; the need to provide women experiencing violence with tools; and the need to reshape Pekuakamiulnuatsh women’s identity and include the cultural dimension in implementing holistic solutions by, for, and with Indigenous women.
To achieve this goal, the project will include developing a communication plan to reach and recruit the target population of women who could act as a support worker, developing the support worker system, and raising awareness within the Mashteuiatsh community on gender-based violence.
An external evaluation will help measure and assess the impacts of this promising practice. Puakuteu, comité de femmes de Mashteuiatsh, will visit various Indigenous communities to inform others about the promising practice so that they can emulate or scale it.

Women and Gender Equality Canada

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.
