Title:

Implementation Research and Delivery of Evidence-Based Gender Violence Prevention Program for Youth

Agreement Number:

GV21523

Agreement Value:

$349,928.00

Agreement Date:

Jul 1, 2022 - Sep 30, 2024

Description:

This 29-month project will educate teachers, administrators, and community members on best practices to reduce gender based violence among high school students. The Flip the Scrip Sexual Assault Resistance Program will be disseminated, implemented using a trauma informed lens, and measured to contribute to reducing sexual assault of young women through evidence-based gender violence prevention. North Shore Women’s Centre will achieve this by providing education on evidence-based gender violence prevention practices, tailoring and delivering Flip the Script Sexual Assault Resistance programming in community settings and in schools across British Columbia (BC), tracking and documenting project delivery and outcomes, exploring and supporting wider delivery of school-based gender violence prevention programming in BC, and sharing the outcomes of the project. This project will engage school administration, parent groups, community organizations and gender-based violence survivors, ensuring that project activities are trauma-informed and survivor-led. The impact of this approach will be assessed through a third-party evaluation, including its potential to be adapted and replicated. By the end of the project, North Shore Women’s Centre will have tested their promising practice and shared it with the wider gender-based violence sector to strengthen sexual assault prevention for youth and supports to survivors of sexual assault and their families, in Canada.

Program Purpose:

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.
