Successful Initiatives to Address Intimate Partner Violence against Women and Girls in Alberta's Black Communities

FY 2021-22 · 2022-03-01

Summary
This 25-month project will develop, implement, and test a culturally appropriate, community-based intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention-focused service delivery and policy framework to effectively address the root causes of gender-based violence within Alberta’s Black and African communities. The Pan African Collaboration for Excellence (PACE) with the University of Alberta will achieve this through the collaborative, equitable, and participatory development of a comprehensive IPV prevention framework; the development of a core resource kit to support implementation of the framework; adapting core material into a diversified resource kit for community-based service and program providers to implement the framework; and the continuous monitoring and evaluation of the initiative. At the end of the project, the University of Alberta will have developed a promising practice that produced and analyzed data to inform inclusive policies and strategies; engaged Black women and girls as decision-makers and agents of change; addressed and disrupted racialized and stereotypical narratives about IPV in Alberta’s Black communities; and strengthened networks and collaborations for IPV prevention within and outside Black communities.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 25 mois permettra d’élaborer, de mettre en œuvre et à l’essai un cadre stratégique de prestation de services axés sur la prévention de la violence entre partenaires intimes (VPI) adaptés à la culture et axés sur la prévention afin de s’attaquer efficacement aux causes profondes de la violence fondée sur le sexe dans les communautés noires et africaines de l’Alberta. De concert avec la Pan African Collaboration for Excellence (PACE), l’Université de l’Alberta cherchera à atteindre cet objectif par l’élaboration (axée sur la collaboration, l’équité et la participation) d’un cadre complet de prévention de la VPI; la conception d’une trousse de ressources fondamentales à l’appui de la mise en œuvre du cadre; l’adaptation du matériel de base à une trousse de ressources diversifiées pour permettre aux fournisseurs de services et de programmes communautaires de mettre en œuvre le cadre, ainsi que la surveillance et l’évaluation continues de l’initiative. À la fin du projet, l’Université de l’Alberta aura élaboré une pratique prometteuse qui aura produit et analysé des données pour éclairer les politiques et les stratégies inclusives; mobilisé des femmes et des filles noires en tant que décisionnaires et agentes de changement; examiné et remis en question les récits racisés et stéréotypés sur la VPI dans les communautés noires de l’Alberta; et renforcé les réseaux et les collaborations pour prévenir la VPI dans les communautés noires et à l’extérieur de celles ci.
