First Canadian Economic Justice Project to support victims of financial abuse

FY 2021-22 · 2021-06-25

Summary
This 36-month project will mitigate the consequences of economic abuse survivors and promote women’s financial independence especially newcomers, refugees, racialized and Indigenous women. This will be achieved by having better data in place that would help monitor systemic barriers and research best practices for policies to prevent and respond to financial abuse. It will address systemic change through economic justice for survivors of economic abuse by conducting research and data collection, establishing a national working group with the intention of creating a national action plan, generating best practices for financial institutions, and developing a financial safety planning app. Partnerships will play a key role in this project. The supplemental funds will be used to cover the higher application development costs and the hiring of a coordinator to finalize the French translations and manage related tasks.

Description (French)
Ce projet d’une durée de 36 mois permettra d’atténuer les conséquences de l’abus financier des personnes survivantes et de promouvoir l’indépendance financière des femmes, en particulier des nouvelles arrivantes, des réfugiées, des femmes racisées et autochtones. Cet objectif sera atteint grâce à la mise en place de meilleures données qui permettront de surveiller les obstacles systémiques et de rechercher les meilleures pratiques pour les politiques de prévention et de réponse à l’abus financier. Il s’agira d’apporter des changements systémiques par le biais de la justice économique pour les personnes survivantes d’abus financiers en menant des recherches et en recueillant des données, en établissant un groupe de travail national dans le but de créer un plan d’action national, en générant des pratiques exemplaires pour les institutions financières et en développant une application de planification de la sécurité financière. Les partenariats joueront un rôle clé dans ce projet. Les fonds supplémentaires serviront à couvrir la hausse des coûts de développement de l'application et l'embauche d'une coordinatrice afin de finaliser la traduction française et de gérer les tâches connexes.
