Title:

Engaging Men and Boys as Allies in Preventing GBV Through Community-Based Humane Education Programming

Agreement Number:

GV230330

Agreement Value:

$823,683.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 15, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026

Description:

Through this 30-month project, the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (also known as G136) will collaboratively develop and put in place humane education programming to strengthen the GBV sector. To do so, the project will identify, adapt, and pilot humane education initiatives that show promise in engaging young men and boys as allies in ending GBV. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of community-based humane education programming as a promising practice towards addressing and preventing the root causes of violence. Humane Canada will share project outcomes through WAGE's GBV Knowledge Centre and key knowledge mobilization events for humane educators so others may replicate or expand upon the promising practice. An online community of practice, as well as a data and knowledge exchange hub, will support humane educators, and engage them in monitoring effectiveness.

Organization:

Women and Gender Equality Canada

Expected Results:

Promising practices are incorporated by the GBV sector into new or enhanced supports for target populations.

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.
