Open Door- Anti-human trafficking Pilot Project

HT20397

$213,173.00

Mar 12, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

This 37-month project with Tungasuvvingat Inuit will develop and implement an anti-human trafficking bridge between Nunavut and Ontario to build knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for Inuit women and children who are relocating. This will be achieved by hiring 1 FT AHT liaison, developing culturally specific anti-human trafficking education and awareness content, doing outreach to existing and new partners, as well as creating a low-barrier referral process to support community members as they navigate different areas based on their relocation plans. At the end of the project, the organization will have addressed the gaps in support provided to Inuit women and children relocating to the south from Nunavut, ensuring that they are able to prevent and minimize their risk of being targeted by traffickers. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.

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.
