Cyberheroes: Gender-based cyber violence prevention program

Agreement Number:

GV230373

Agreement Value:

$433,103.00

Agreement Date:

Apr 1, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026

Description:

Through this 24-month project, Les 3 sex* will develop and implement a gender-based cyber violence prevention program for young boys to strengthen the gender-based violence sector. The project will address the lack of access to services that help counter online radicalization and disinformation leading to gender-based cyber violence against women and 2SLGBTQI+ people. It will target young boys who are vulnerable to the influence of messaging from the manosphere. This will include consulting with partners; collecting data; creating awareness resources; and applying, evaluating, and disseminating innovative practices. An external evaluation will measure and assess the impact of these promising practices. Les 3 sex* will disseminate the promising practices and share the assessment report to inform other organizations of the promising practices so that they can replicate or scale them.

Organization:

Women and Gender Equality Canada

Expected Results:

Promising practices are incorporated by the GBV sector into new or enhanced supports for target populations.

Gender-Based Violence Program

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.
