Strengthening the Yukon’s Responses to Intersections between GBV and Family Law Processes

FY 2023-24 · 2023-10-16

Summary
Through this 30-month project, Yukon Status of Women Council (YSWC) will scale the 'After She Leaves' program developed by Luke's Place in Ontario to strengthen the GBV sector in Yukon. By adapting the promising practice to reflect the realities and needs of Yukon, this project will reach GBV frontline workers and legal actors to increase the availability of comprehensive and integrated support services for survivors of GBV. It will also address service delivery and knowledge gaps relating to the intersections between intimate-partner violence and family law processes in Yukon. YSWC will achieve this by organizing community engagements and immersive knowledge exchanges, conducting an analysis of Yukon's territorial family laws, and delivering training sessions and workshops to share information on the promising practice for knowledge mobilization and potential replication or expansion of it based on realities and needs of community members. A partnership will be developed with Luke’s Place to support the implementation of project objectives and ensure the overall project success.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet de 30 mois, le Yukon Status of Women Council (YSWC) transposera à plus grande échelle le programme ""After She Leaves"" élaboré par Luke's Place en Ontario afin de renforcer le secteur de la violence fondée sur le sexe au Yukon. En adaptant cette pratique prometteuse aux réalités et aux besoins du Yukon, ce projet s'adressera aux travailleuses et travailleurs de première ligne et aux acteurs juridiques du secteur de la violence fondée sur le sexe afin d'accroître la disponibilité de services de soutien complets et intégrés pour les victimes de la violence fondée sur le sexe. Il permettra également de combler les lacunes en matière de prestation de services et de connaissances sur les liens entre la violence entre partenaires intimes et les processus du droit de la famille au Yukon. Le YSWC y parviendra en organisant des engagements communautaires et des échanges de connaissances immersifs, en effectuant une analyse des lois territoriales sur la famille au Yukon et en organisant des séances de formation et des ateliers pour partager des informations sur les pratiques prometteuses en matière de mobilisation des connaissances et sur la possibilité de les reproduire ou de les étendre en fonction des réalités et des besoins des membres de la communauté. Un partenariat sera établi avec Luke's Place pour soutenir la mise en œuvre des objectifs du projet et assurer sa réussite globale.

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.
