BCAAFC project - Building capacity to address Indigenous GBV
FY 2021-22 · 2021-11-01
Summary
This 31-month project will build the capacity for Indigenous women to address gender-based violence (GBV) in communities across British Columbia using a culturally appropriate approach. Specifically, the project will create systemic change through a province-wide service delivery framework that trains Indigenous women to have the knowledge and skills to support women and girls experiencing GBV; maintains culturally appropriate strategies through consultations with Indigenous women led committees; and develops and provides culturally appropriate capacity building tools, resources and supports for Indigenous organizations, mentor, and advocates.
The project will result in an Indigenous leadership advisory committee representing all 8 regions of the province, two cohort groups cycling through 20 days of the training program,
a provincial Indigenous GBV service delivery framework, the establishment and expansion of an Indigenous-specific crisis support line, a complimentary Indigenous led housing strategy, and a project evaluation to highlight where enhancements in the delivery and approach are needed.
Strategic partnerships with Battered Women’s Support Services, Aboriginal Housing Management Association, and BC Society of Transition Houses will be integral to the success of the project.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 31 mois permettra d’accroître la capacité des femmes autochtones de lutter contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) dans les collectivités de la Colombie-Britannique au moyen d’une approche respectueuse de leur culture. Plus précisément, le projet entraînera un changement systémique au moyen d’un cadre provincial de prestation de services qui permettra aux femmes autochtones d’acquérir les connaissances et les compétences nécessaires pour soutenir les femmes et les filles victimes de VFS, qui maintiendra des stratégies adaptées à la culture à l’aide de consultations avec des comités dirigés par des femmes autochtones, et qui élaborera et fournira des outils, des ressources et des mesures de renforcement des capacités culturellement adaptés aux organismes, aux mentores et aux militantes autochtones.
Le projet donnera lieu à la création d’un comité consultatif des chefs de file autochtones représentant les 8 régions de la province, à la participation de deux cohortes aux 20 jours du programme de formation,
à la création d’un cadre provincial de prestation des services aux personnes autochtones victimes de VFS, à l’établissement et à l’expansion d’une ligne de soutien pour les personnes autochtones en situation de crise, à une stratégie complémentaire de logement dirigée par des personnes autochtones, et à une évaluation de projet pour mettre en lumière les améliorations à apporter à la prestation et à l’approche.
Des partenariats stratégiques avec les Battered Women’s Support Services, l’Aboriginal Housing Management Association et la BC Society of Transition Houses seront essentiels à la réussite du projet.

Programme de financement de la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe
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.
Program Purpose (French)
Le Programme de financement de la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (le Programme) vise à renforcer la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) et, en particulier, à remédier au manque de soutien pour deux catégories de survivantes et survivants, soit : 1) les femmes autochtones et leurs communautés; et 2) les populations sous-desservies au Canada (notamment les femmes handicapées, les femmes réfugiées, immigrantes ou en situation irrégulière, les personnes allosexuelles et les femmes des minorités ethnoculturelles). Il s’agit d’un programme de subventions et contributions pour les organismes canadiens qui mènent des projets visant à améliorer les mesures d’aide offertes et à créer des solutions durables et complètes à l’échelle nationale, régionale et locale.
