PEACE for Canadian Children & Youth: Building Capacity and Fostering Connection in Nunavut Women’s Shelters

GV240266

$650,000.00

Apr 1, 2025 - Mar 31, 2027

Through this 24-month project, THS Society of Transition Houses will scale a PEACE for Canadian Children and Youth to strengthen the GBV sector. It will scale to new and existing women’s shelter organizations throughout the territory of Nunavut. It will address the need to break the isolation experienced by shelter workers in remote northern communities resulting from geographical and connectivity challenges and help them establish a network of knowledge sharing and peer support. To do so, the project will include a needs assessment, remote and in person capacity building opportunities for learning and knowledge sharing, mentoring and peer support to develop a community of practice and an evaluation to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

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.
