An Indigenous-Led Response to End Human Trafficking in British Columbia

HT20342

$390,031.00

Mar 8, 2021 - Sep 30, 2024

This 43-month project with Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of British Columbia will develop and implement Indigenous-led, community-based, culturally-rooted anti-human trafficking approaches, practices and materials to advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk Indigenous populations and survivors of human trafficking throughout British Columbia. This will be achieved by establishing Indigenous lived-experience youth panel, identifying high risk communities, engaging communities, organizing consultations and trainings, as well as developing materials to be used by anti-human trafficking service providers in Indigenous communities. At the end of the project, the organization will have engaged the communities, utilized Indigenous community-led approaches, conducted consultations to identify needs and solutions for building protection and prevention, determined further support, and developed anti-human trafficking materials for Indigenous communities. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices. The supplemental funds will be used to hold community sessions in schools and Indigenous communities to provide workshops on the HT curriculum that was developed.

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.
