Agreement Date:
Jan 8, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Through this 27-month project, Southeastern Alberta Sexual Assault Response Committee (Sanare Centre) will develop and put in place a Men’s Employee Recruitment and Retention program and a Men’s Network and Support Group to strengthen the GBV sector. It will address the dearth of men who are employed within and knowledgeable about the GBV sector in Alberta and will address the barriers men face when leading gender equality work, including lack of capacity, institutional barriers, lack of interest and social isolation. To do so, the project will include the development and implementation of two programs: a Men’s Employee Recruitment and Retention program and a Men’s Network and Support Group. Sanare Centre will also develop a sustainability plan for how both programs will be sustained. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice. Sanare Centre will communicate findings in various formats appropriate for diverse audiences to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it
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.
