Dec 15, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

This 28-month project will develop and implement a multi-sectoral and integrated round table addressing violence against women and girls to address the root causes of gender-based violence. It will aim to make recommendations to key players in the Haut-St-François regional municipality (RCM) to fight gender inequality by creating one or more mechanisms in its 14 municipalities that encourage women and girls to speak out on violence issues through its multi-sectoral committee. The Haut-Saint-François community development corporation will achieve this objective by integrating the round table into a five-year action plan, by bringing together community, institutional and political partners committed to participating in one or more working groups, and carrying out project activities. By the end of the project, the organization will have increased awareness and engagement within the regional community and institutions concerning gender equality and the eradication of violence against women and girls; implemented policies which are adapted to rural perspectives surrounding gender equality and involve the role of fathers; and integrated in the tools of Haut-Saint-François organizations a deeper understanding of the issues of marginalized women and women who have limited access to education.

Gender-Based Violence Program

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.
