The Courage to Act: National Framework to Address and Prevent Gender Based Violence on Post-Secondary Campuses
FY 2019-20 · 2019-10-01
Summary
This 24-month project will harmonize approaches to addressing and preventing Gender Based Violence (GBV) at post secondary institutions (PSIs) across the country. Growing from the promising practices, suggested tools, protocols and programming articulated in the Framework Report, this project’s activities in year 1 seek to develop key protocols, tools and programming that will be tested and refined in year 2. In addition, Possibility Seeds Consulting will develop key materials including an outline of priorities at the end of this project. All tools, protocols and programming will be developed to ensure that PSIs, from small to large, from urban to rural, will be able to implement the Framework in ways that speak to the unique needs of each campus community. The Communities of Practice will be key in supporting the implementation of the Framework moving forward.

Description (French)
Ce projet d'une durée de 24 mois permettra d'harmoniser les approches de lutte et de prévention de la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) dans les établissements d'enseignement postsecondaires dans tout le pays. S'inspirant des pratiques prometteuses, des outils, des protocoles et des programmes suggérés dans le rapport sur le cadre, les activités de ce projet au cours de la première année permettront d'élaborer des protocoles, des outils et des programmes clés qui seront testés et perfectionnés au cours de la deuxième année. De plus, Possibility Seeds Consulting élaborera des documents clés, y compris un aperçu des priorités à la fin de ce projet. Tous les outils, protocoles et programmes seront développés pour s'assurer que les établissements d'enseignement postsecondaires, grands ou petits, dans les zones urbaines ou rurales, seront en mesure de mettre en œuvre le cadre de travail de manière à répondre aux besoins uniques de chaque communauté universitaire. Les communautés de pratique seront essentielles pour soutenir la mise en œuvre du cadre à l'avenir.
