Through this 21-month project, Sexual Assault Services of Saskatchewan Inc. (SASS) aims to advance gender equality by strengthening their capacity and credibility to become a primary prevention workforce. The project will include a comprehensive preliminary review of prevalence, risk and protective factors of sexual violence perpetration in the province; identification of prevalent discourse around sexual violence prevention and primary prevention models; a mapping of systems and identification of policy levers to advance prevention efforts in policy landscape/structure; the development of customized learning modules on upstream/primary prevention principles; the development of strategic advocacy resources to advance sector-wide engagement; and the integration of Gender-Based Analysis + into internal Human Resources processes and tools. Engagement will occur with organizations and sectors representing institutions and communities and with Indigenous partners to support the implementation of the MMIWG2S + Call for Justice. A direct partnership with Shift: The Project to End Domestic Violence at the University of Calgary has been formed to provide expertise and support in the development of tools and building of organizational credibility. By the end of the project SASS will have enhanced their skills to engage and mobilize a diverse team of policy and practise stakeholders committed to multisectoral action in leading and testing new prevention efforts to end sexual violence before it occurs.
