Survivors at the Centre: Manitoba First Nations Combat Human Trafficking

FY 2021-22 · 2021-04-01

Summary
This 36-month project with the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Secretariat Inc. will develop and implement a Survivors Mentorship Module, which will outline how survivors can respectfully, safely and appropriately engage in Manitoba First Nations’ efforts to combat human trafficking. The organization will also develop a safety and protection education curriculum for at-risk youth. The purpose of these promising practices is to advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for survivors of human trafficking. This will be achieved by developing, testing, implementing and evaluating the two tools (Survivors Mentorship Module and education curriculum), as well as hosting a promising practices workshop, establishing and engaging with a Survivors Advisory Group and utilizing a trauma-informed and culturally-based approach. At the end of the project, the organization will have developed and implemented two community-based, culturally-rooted tools aimed at building awareness and identifying concrete actions to prevent human trafficking for Manitoba First Nations. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois réalisé par l’Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Secretariat permettra d'élaborer et de mettre en œuvre un module de mentorat auprès des personnes survivantes qui décrira comment ces dernières peuvent participer de façon respectueuse, sécuritaire et adéquate aux efforts des Premières Nations du Manitoba pour lutter contre la traite de personnes. L’organisme élaborera également un programme d’éducation sur la sécurité et la protection pour les jeunes à risque. Le but de ces pratiques prometteuses est de faire progresser les connaissances et de favoriser l’autonomisation des personnes survivantes de la traite de personnes. Pour ce faire, on élaborera, mettra à l’essai, mettra en œuvre et évaluera les deux outils (module de mentorat auprès des personnes survivantes et programme d’éducation); on animera un atelier sur les pratiques prometteuses; on mettra sur pied un groupe consultatif pour les personnes survivantes; on collaborera avec les membres et on se servira d’une approche tenant compte des traumatismes et adaptée à la culture. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura élaboré et mis en œuvre deux outils communautaires adaptés à la culture visant à sensibiliser les personnes et à désigner des mesures concrètes pour prévenir la traite des personnes pour les Premières Nations du Manitoba. Le projet comprendra un exercice d’évaluation externe qui portera sur le succès et l’évolutivité des pratiques prometteuses.
Expected Results
Promising practices are incorporated by the GBV sector into new or enhanced supports for target populations.
Expected Results (French)
Intégration, par le secteur, des pratiques prometteuses aux mesures de soutien nouvelles ou améliorées qu’il offre aux populations ciblées.

Program Name (French)
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.
