Addressing Gender-Based Violence: Community-Based Supports for Children andYouth

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. This project will develop a Project Implementation Plan to increase access to supports for underserved populations and to explore and evaluate new promising practices to engage these populations in healing from gender-based violence (GBV). This project will develop, adapt, implement and evaluate culturally-sensitive, gender-inclusive and accessible programs for specific groups of survivors of GBV in New Brunswick.

Eligibility

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