Summary
Through this 53-month project, the Pacific Association of First Nations Women (PAFNW) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people, with a focus on strengthening the sustainability of the PAFNW Indigenous Women’s Council through training and capacity-building. This will be achieved by conducting a gap analysis to assess organizational learning needs; designing, developing, and implementing training and resource materials on conflict management, grant writing, and other emerging topics; creating an online toolkit to support PAFNW’s capacity and succession planning; and networking with Indigenous organizations and matriarchs in other communities to share capacity development resources and encourage collaboration. By the end of the project, the Pacific Association of First Nations Women will have strengthened its capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people, with a focus on organizational sustainability and capacity development to better prevent violence through trauma-based conflict management skills.
With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, the Pacific Association of First Nations Women will create leadership development opportunities, create policies and guides to lead the organization, make efficient use of technology, deliver project management training, and build networks and collaborations. Through this, they will further advance Gender Equality with a goal of eliminating Gender-Based Violence.
