Description:
Through this 30-month project, Interval House of Hamilton will scale the MentorAction program to strengthen the GBV sector. It will address gaps in gender-based violence prevention training in the male-dominated skilled trades sector across Ontario. To do so, the project will deliver GBV prevention training within workplaces and establish training networks throughout skills and trades unions in Ontario. Interval House of Hamilton will author blogs and articles to be published in participating companies’ and unions’ newsletters to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.
The supplemental funding will be used to enable Interval House of Hamilton, in partnership with White Ribbon Campaign, to develop a new application and supporting webpage that embed violence prevention education into workplace safety discussions within the male-dominated skilled trades sector, strengthening norms of respect and accountability. The project will include an external evaluation to assess the impact of the promising practices.

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.
