Agreement Value:

Agreement Date:
May 22, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Through this 22-month project, the Groupe de Recherche et d’Intervention Sociale de Montréal (GRIS-Montréal) will conduct community-based research to help improve gender-based violence (GBV) services for at-risk groups. The project will address GBV affecting youth who identify or are perceived as members of the sexually and gender-diverse community in Quebec secondary schools. To achieve this, the organization will seek the opinions of school staff working in places sexually and gender-diverse youth consider the least safe, as staff’s perspectives are generally overlooked in research on the subject. The purpose of this research is to document these school stakeholders’ views and intervention methods, and to provide areas for reflection and concrete actions to reduce GBV in schools. GRIS-Montréal will also disseminate the research findings within the scientific, educational, and sexually and gender-diverse communities. To do so, a dissemination strategy will be developed, and summaries of the research findings and other knowledge mobilization tools will be shared.
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.
