Summary
Through this 30-month project, Maskan Family Association (MFA) will scale the Leading Change curriculum to strengthen the GBV sector. It will address intergenerational domestic violence, specifically within immigrant communities in Edmonton and Calgary. To do so, the project activities include the revision of the existing materials with partners to inform and develop a culturally relevant and responsive version of the Leading Change curriculum for immigrant youth, engaging and empowering immigrant youth to identify their potential to create and lead change through discussions, workshops, training, an ongoing Community of Practice, and meetings with various stakeholders and team members. Prevention strategies on domestic violence will be developed and implemented in Edmonton and Calgary. MFA will collaborate with the Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters (ACWS) and other community stakeholders on various project activities. Furthermore, an external evaluator will develop an evaluation framework and complete a final project evaluation when the project ends. MFA will also produce a Final Report that they will share with WAGE’s GBV Learning Centre, and other organizations through a Media Release and Impact Report to disseminate their findings on the scaling of this promising practice so that others may replicate it or expand upon it.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet de 30 mois, la Maskan Family Association (MFA) étendra le programme Diriger le changement pour renforcer le secteur de la VFS. Il portera sur la violence familiale intergénérationnelle, en particulier au sein des communautés immigrantes d’Edmonton et de Calgary. Pour ce faire, les activités du projet comprennent la révision du matériel existant avec des partenaires pour éclairer et élaborer une version culturellement pertinente et adaptée du programme Diriger le changement pour les jeunes immigrantes et immigrants, en mobilisant ces derniers et en leur donnant les moyens de découvrir leur potentiel à créer et à diriger le changement, par l’intermédiaire de discussions, d’ateliers, de formations, d’une communauté de pratique continue et de réunions avec divers membres de l’équipe et parties prenantes. Des stratégies de prévention de la violence familiale seront élaborées et mises en œuvre à Edmonton et à Calgary. La MFA collaborera avec l’Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters et d’autres parties prenantes communautaires sur diverses activités du projet. De plus, un évaluateur externe élaborera un cadre d’évaluation et réalisera une évaluation finale du projet à la fin du projet. La MFA produira également un rapport final qu’elle transmettra au centre d’apprentissage sur la VFS de Femmes et Égalité des genres Canada et d’autres organismes, au moyen d’un communiqué de presse et d’un rapport d’impact pour diffuser ses conclusions sur la mise à l’échelle de cette pratique prometteuse afin que d’autres puissent la reproduire ou l’élaborer.
Expected Results
Promising practices are incorporated by the GBV sector into new or enhanced supports for target populations.

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.
