Summary
Through this 59-month project, 2-Spirited People of the 1st Nations will increase their ability to prevent gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with a focus on 2-Spirited people, Indigenous women, girls, female-identifying, 2SLGBTQ+ people, including those living on a low-income, in Toronto. This will be achieved by conducting a needs assessment, designing GBV training resources, strengthening, and expanding their organizational network, and mentoring and coaching 2-Spirit staff, community members, and new and existing partners on GBV prevention.
This project will engage the Toronto Aboriginal Support Services Council (TASSC) and other community partners to improve networks and develop tools and policy around GBV prevention.
By the end of the project, 2-Spirits People of the 1st Nations will have strengthened their capacity to prevent GBV against Indigenous women, girls, female-identifying and 2SLGBTQ+ people, with a focus on 2-Spirited people.
With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, 2-Spirited People of the 1st Nations will 1) develop and pilot an internal Train the Trainer model to build in house GBV training capacity, incorporating staff feedback to refine the training tools; and 2) review, update, and implement internal GBV related policies and materials informed by Phase I and internal pilot testing to support continuous improvement and safer practices. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet d’une durée de 59 mois, 2-Spirited People of the 1st Nations renforcera sa capacité à prévenir la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) envers les femmes, les filles ou les personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones, en mettant l’accent sur les personnes bispirituelles, les femmes, les filles, les personnes s’identifiant femmes, les personnes 2ELGBTQ+ autochtones, y compris celles à faible revenu, à Toronto. Cet objectif sera atteint en procédant à une évaluation des besoins, en concevant des ressources de formation sur la VFS, en renforçant et en élargissant son réseau organisationnel, et en assurant un mentorat et un encadrement au personnel de 2-Spirit , aux membres de la communauté et aux partenaires nouveaux et existants sur la prévention de la VFS.
Ce projet mobilisera le Toronto Aboriginal Support Services Council (TASSC) et d’autres partenaires communautaires pour améliorer les réseaux et élaborer des outils et des politiques sur la prévention de la VFS.
À la fin du projet, 2-Spirits People of the 1st Nations aura renforcé sa capacité à prévenir la VFS à l’endroit des femmes, des filles, des personnes s’identifiant femmes et des personnes 2ELGBTQ+ autochtones, en mettant l’accent sur les personnes bispirituelles.
Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, l’organisme 2-Spirited People of the 1st Nations : 1) élaborera et mettra à l’essai un modèle interne de formation des formatrices et formateurs afin de renforcer les capacités de formation à la lutte contre la VFS en interne, en intégrant les commentaires du personnel pour mettre au point les outils de formation; et 2) examinera, mettra à jour et mettra en œuvre des politiques et des documents internes relatifs à la VFS en s’appuyant sur la phase phase I et les essais pilotes internes afin de soutenir l’amélioration continue et des pratiques plus sûres.
