Summary
This 12-month project will raise awareness with men and boys, alongside women and girls, towards action in eliminating gender-based violence. In partnership with women’s organizations, the CFL and Edmonton Junior Football, the organization will create meaningful participatory experiences at the week-long 2018 Grey Cup festival held in Edmonton, Alberta that draw attention to gender based violence, trafficking, sexual exploitation and their association with sporting events. These include a Breakfast with The Guys initiative, in which youth and sport role models are engaged in a discussion around domestic violence and their roles in addressing gendered violence; as well as train the trainer activities aimed at junior football players, allowing them to support the continuation of training to additional junior players throughout the year. ACWS will also partner with the Action Coalition on Human Trafficking Alberta to develop tools to assist those working in the hospitality industry to better understand and recognize potential trafficking and sexual exploitation; as well as work with the Edmonton Police Services to establish a baseline on the rates of violence against women associated with sporting events. An evaluation will measure the success of project activities to establish a framework to inform future work linking gender-based violence and sporting events.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 12 mois vise à sensibiliser aussi bien les hommes et les garçons que les femmes et les filles à la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe. En partenariat avec des organismes de femmes, la LCF et « l’Edmonton Junior Football », l’organisme créera des expériences participatives significatives au festival de la Coupe « Grey » 2018, qui se tiendra pendant une semaine à Edmonton, en Alberta, et qui attirera l’attention sur la violence fondée sur le sexe, la traite de personnes, l’exploitation sexuelle et leur occurrence lors d’événements sportifs. Une initiative appelée « Breakfast with The Guys » réunira notamment les jeunes et des modèles à suivre dans le milieu du sport pour aborder la violence familiale et discuter de leur rôle dans la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe. Il y aura également des activités de formation des formatrices et formateurs pour les joueuses et les joueurs de football juniors afin qu’ils puissent continuer à former leurs condisciples durant le reste de l’année. L’ACWS travaillera également en partenariat avec « Action Coalition on Human Trafficking Alberta » pour mettre au point des outils qui aideront les personnes travaillant dans le secteur de l’hôtellerie à mieux comprendre et reconnaître la traite et l’exploitation sexuelle potentielles, ainsi qu’avec les services de police d’Edmonton pour établir une base de référence sur les taux de violence faite aux femmes dans le cadre d’événements sportifs. Une évaluation permettra de mesurer les retombées des activités du projet afin d’établir un cadre d’orientation des travaux qui seront menés par la suite pour établir un lien entre la violence fondée sur le sexe et les événements sportifs.
