Support for Sexual Assault Centres to Respond to COVID-19
FY 2020-21 · 2020-04-01
Summary
This 36-month project will build the capacity of sexual assault centres to respond to the immediate health and safety crisis posed by the current COVID-19 pandemic and in doing so to continue their important work to advance gender equality in Canada.
The organization will develop a process to disburse funding to sexual assault centres serving women and children victims of gender-based violence, including domestic violence, with the aim of addressing centre’s specific capacity and emergency preparedness needs. It will then coordinate the gathering, consolidation and analysis of information from ultimate recipient reporting on how funding was used. Other activities may be undertaken, as needed, including the transfer of knowledge on sexual assault centre needs, impacts, and responsive solutions to COVID-19.
In October 2020, following the Government of Canada announcement of an additional $50M in emergency COVID-19 support, an additional $20,600,000 was provided to expand the current project to provide additional funding to sexual assault centres (based on the requested needs) and support women’s organizations and other organizations offering significant GBV supports and services to women, outside of Québec, to prepare surge capacity to deal with anticipated influx seeking support as a result of increased gender-based violence during the COVID 19 pandemic, and to support their ability to address, prevent and reduce gender-based violence.
In May 2021, additional supplemental funding of $7,197,267 was provided to CWF in order to support women’s organizations and other organizations offering significant GBV supports and services to women that were deemed eligible under the application process for funding but were unable to receive funding due to oversubscription and limited funds being available.
In August, 2021, further supplemental funding of $7,506,000 was provided to fund an additional 93 eligible organizatio

Description (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois renforcera la capacité des centres d’aide aux victimes d’agression sexuelle à répondre à la crise immédiate touchant la santé et la sécurité suscitée par la pandémie actuelle de COVID-19 et à ainsi poursuivre leur important travail pour faire avancer l’égalité des genres au Canada.
L’organisme mettra au point un processus pour octroyer des fonds aux centres d’aide aux victimes d’agression sexuelle au service des femmes et des enfants victimes de violence fondée sur le sexe, y compris la violence familiale, dans le but de répondre aux besoins propres aux centres en matière de capacité et de préparation aux situations d’urgence. Il coordonnera ensuite la collecte, le regroupement et l’analyse des renseignements des bénéficiaires qui le recevront sur la manière dont le financement a été utilisé. D’autres activités pourront être entreprises, au besoin, y compris le transfert de connaissances sur les besoins des centres d’aide aux victimes d’agression sexuelle, les répercussions et les solutions adaptées à la COVID-19.
En octobre 2020, suite à l'annonce du gouvernement du Canada d'un montant additionel de 50M $ en fonds d'urgence COVID 19, une montant supplémentaire de 20 600 000 $ a été octroyé pour permettre d'étendre le projet actuel afin de fournir un financement supplémentaire aux centres d'aide aux victimes d'agression sexuelle (d'après les besoins identifiés) et de soutenir les organismes de femmes et d'autres organismes offrant des soutiens et des services importants aux femmes en matière de violence fondée sur le sexe, hors Québec, afin de préparer une capacité d'appoint pour faire face à l'afflux prévu de personnes cherchant un soutien en raison de l'augmentation de la violence fondée sur le sexe pendant la pandémie de COVID 19, et de soutenir leur capacité à traiter, prévenir et réduire cette violence.
En mai 2021, un financement supplémentaire de 7 197 267 $ a été octroyé à la Fondation canadienne des femmes en vue de soutenir les organismes de femmes et d'autres organismes offrant des soutiens et des services importants en matière de VFS aux femmes jugées admissibles dans le cadre du processus de demande de financement mais qui n'ont pas pu recevoir le financement en raison du trop grand nombre d'inscriptions et des fonds limités disponibles.
En août 2021, un autre financement supplémentaire de 7 506 000 $ a été octroyé pour financer 93 organismes éligibles additionnels.
