Description (French)
Ce projet de 37 mois mené en collaboration avec le Sudbury Women’s Centre (SWC) permettra d’élaborer et de mettre en œuvre des pratiques prometteuses grâce à la mise sur pied de l’initiative d’intervention en matière de traite de personnes de l’alliance Saving Our Sisters (SOS) afin d’enrichir les connaissances et de favoriser l’autonomisation des populations à risque mal desservies et des personnes survivantes de la traite de personnes dans le Nord de l’Ontario. Cet objectif sera atteint comme suit : 1) mener des activités de sensibilisation et de soutien à l’intention des victimes et des survivantes et de survivants de la traite de personnes par le biais de l’Alliance Saving Our Sisters (SOS) et de l’initiative d’intervention pour lutter contre la traite de personnes dans le Nord de l’Ontario, et offrir de la formation en matière d’intervention; et 2) élaborer et mettre en œuvre un programme de guérison, y compris des services de counseling individuel ou de conseils sur la culture, et du soutien en groupe. À la fin du projet, l’organisme 1) aura mis sur pied l’alliance SOS et l’initiative d’intervention en matière de traite de personnes dans le Nord de l’Ontario afin d’améliorer le leadership en vue d’obtenir de meilleurs résultats pour les victimes et les personnes survivantes; 2) aura établi et mis en œuvre des mesures ou initiatives éventuelles pour combler les lacunes dans les populations mal desservies; 3) aura amélioré la collaboration pour inclure les organismes autochtones et les survivantes et survivants de la traite de personnes pour répondre au besoin de stratégies d’intervention sécuritaires, axées sur la collaboration et la protection, et de mesures de soutien à l’autonomisation dans le Nord de l’Ontario. Le projet comprendra un exercice d’évaluation externe qui portera sur le succès et l’évolution des pratiques prometteuses.

Program Name (French)
Programme de financement de la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe
Program Purpose
The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
Program Purpose (French)
Le Programme de financement de la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (le Programme) vise à renforcer la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) et, en particulier, à remédier au manque de soutien pour deux catégories de survivantes et survivants, soit : 1) les femmes autochtones et leurs communautés; et 2) les populations sous-desservies au Canada (notamment les femmes handicapées, les femmes réfugiées, immigrantes ou en situation irrégulière, les personnes allosexuelles et les femmes des minorités ethnoculturelles). Il s’agit d’un programme de subventions et contributions pour les organismes canadiens qui mènent des projets visant à améliorer les mesures d’aide offertes et à créer des solutions durables et complètes à l’échelle nationale, régionale et locale.
