Leading Systemic Change in Policing for Survivors of Sexual Violence in New Brunswick
FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-01
Summary
This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Sexual Violence New Brunswick (SVNB) will achieve this by widening the impact of systemic and institutional change within New Brunswick police services to all women in the province affected by sexual violence. The organization will conduct consultations with key stakeholders, will develop and implement a framework to address systemic barriers within municipal forces, and will participate and support the work of national organizations and other sexual assault centers in Canada to address systemic change within the RCMP’s response to sexual violence.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
SVNB will build upon the institutional and systemic change created within the Fredericton Police Force by scaling up the WAGE funded project "Improving Women's Access to Justice through Institutional Change" to the remaining municipal police forces in New Brunswick. Partners will include survivors of sexual violence, the New Brunswick Association of Chiefs of Police, New Brunswick's Department of Justice and Public Safety, the Fredericton Police Force, and individual community-based organizations. Special consideration will be given to the impacts that affect underrepresented groups, including Francophone women, women living in rural communities, and women living with low income, specifically for provincial-level policy changes.

Description (French)
Ce projet, d’une durée de 30 mois, soutiendra une réponse et une relance féministes pour contrer les répercussions actuelles de la COVID-19, au moyen d’un changement systémique. Sexual Violence New Brunswick (SVNB) y parviendra en élargissant les effets des changements systémiques et institutionnels au sein des services de police du Nouveau-Brunswick à toutes les femmes de la province touchées par la violence sexuelle. L’organisme mènera des consultations avec les principales parties prenantes, élaborera et mettra en œuvre un cadre visant à éliminer les obstacles systémiques au sein des forces municipales, et participera et soutiendra le travail des organismes nationales et des autres centres d’aide aux victimes d’agression sexuelle au Canada afin d’apporter des changements systémiques dans la réponse de la GRC à la violence sexuelle.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à lever les obstacles systémiques en faisant progresser les politiques et les pratiques inclusives, en rehaussant les réseaux et la collaboration afin d’accélérer le changement systémique, et en s’attaquant aux normes et aux attitudes sexistes nuisibles persistantes afin de soutenir l’égalité des femmes.
SVNB s’appuiera sur le changement institutionnel et systémique entreprise au sein du service de police de Fredericton pour étendre le projet financé par FEGC « Améliorer l’accès des femmes à la justice par le changement institutionnel » aux autres services de police municipaux du Nouveau-Brunswick. Les partenaires seront des survivants de la violence sexuelle, l’Association des chefs de police du Nouveau-Brunswick, le ministère de la Justice et de la Sécurité publique du Nouveau-Brunswick, le service policier de Fredericton et des organismes communautaires individuels. Une attention particulière sera accordée aux répercussions qui affectent les groupes sous-représentés, y compris les femmes francophones, les femmes vivant dans des communautés rurales et les femmes à faible revenu, notamment pour les changements de politiques à l’échelle provinciale.

Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
Expected Results (French)
